Bose series one no equalizer any alteratives

As others have said, no, not exactly.

But, using a plain old EQ, even a 7-band, at least until you can secure the proper EQ will be a LOT better than using nothing.

I had a picture showing the slider arrangement and the resulting curve but deleted all that stuff a while back.
I've gone this route with a 10-band (or 12, can't recall, don't use it much). It does work, not as effectively, but it is an improvement.

Starting point would be sliders arranged in a "u" like shape. Then adjust to your ears.

Least expensive route is a "unkown" working condition unit. More often they work but the seller is unable to test, or unwilling to test. Best deals that way. Bought all three of mine that way and they all work, though incrementally better from older to newer (based on serial numbers only). I've concluded that they do in fact drift and it varies with age and use.
 
The Bose curve is shown here and I think that is 5 dB per division so the top curve has more than 15 dB of boost in the mid 30s. The page also shows EQ settings that the author used in itunes without an EQ. The 32 Hz band should be all the way up, even then it is only 12 dB of boost when most of the Bose curves have more than 15. Looks approximately right and should give a starting point for a multiband EQ.

A real Bose EQ box would probably be best, obviously.
