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.

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.
