External Subs
Passive (unpowered) Loudspeakers
Using loudspeakers other than the B1 Bass Module with any of the L1 systems is not supported. However you can safely try your own external subs if the impedance is no lower then 4 ohms (typically a single 4 ohm loudspeaker or two 8 ohm loudspeakers in parallel). The output from the Power Stand is 250 watts RMS into 4 ohms.
L1® Classic and L1® Model I
L1® Model II
Active (powered) Loudspeakers
Using powered loudspeakers with any of the L1® systems is not supported.
PackLite® power amplifier Model A1
The PackLite® power amplifier Model A1 is part the L1® System. It can be used to power up to two B1 Bass Modules. This is connected to the Power Stand Bass Line Out.
Third Party (non-Bose®) Systems
If you want to use a powered loudspeaker system, you can use the Power Stand Bass Line Out as the signal source. Here are notes specific to the L1® you are using.
You will probably use an powered loudspeaker in the same way as you would connect an PackLite® amp.
Please see PackLite® power amplifier Model A1 for extensive notes that include ideas that can be applied to other systems.
