According to Crutchfield, the 300 can only be used with the Bose SoundTouch soundbar.

Cant be any other way to connect them?

In order to connect any active (read self-powered with built-in amplification) subwoofer to an AVR, it requires the subwoofer to have an RCA jack. As far as I can see from on-line pictures and the Bose manual, the Acoustimass 300 Bass Module has no jack of any kind.

Alternately, you could bypass the internal electronics and use it as a passive subwoofer. You can find a piece in my signature ("Tech Articles") on how to do that.'
