Use the Sub1 or Sub 2 bass modules with the [[L1 Pro|Bose L1 Pro32]]
* Sub1 creates a compact system (down to 40 Hz)
* Sub2 plays lower and louder (down to 37 Hz)
* Extreme portability using [[{{PAGENAME}}#RaceTrack_Woofer|RaceTrack woofers]]
Use the Sub1 or Sub 2 bass modules with other PA systems (e.g., Bose S1 Pro or third-party systems)

=== Comparisons Sub1/Sub2 Subwoofers ===
{{Sub Comparison}}
 
=== RaceTrack Woofer===
[[File:Sub RaceTrack12.jpg|left|thumb|RaceTrack Woofer]]
 
: Unique RaceTrack woofers integrated in the Bose Sub1 and Sub2 modular subwoofers deliver powerful bass, have an optimized center of gravity, and save a lot of space. This slim design means you get the full impact of a conventional subwoofer without the cumbersome size, freeing up room in your vehicle and on the stage, and making every carry in between — home to car, vehicle to venue — much easier. <ref>[https://pro.bose.com/en_us/solutions/portable/l1-pro-family/sub1-sub2.html RaceTrack Woofer] on pro.bose.com</ref>
 
Although the comparisons are approximate and this assumes that other variables like input power are similar:
*The 7"x13" RaceTrack woofer in the Sub1 is comparable to 12" round driver.
*The 10"x18" RaceTrack woofer is comparable to a 15" round driver.
 
Note: Both the Sub1 and L1 Pro8 use a 7"x13" RaceTrack woofer.
The L1 Pro8 is rated at 240 watts RMS to the subwoofer. The Sub1 is rated at 480 watts RMS.

Sub1 and Sub2 have extruded aluminum heat sinks mounted to the backside of the I/O panel. This pulls heat out of the electronics and transfers some to the air moving through the acoustic volume of the sub and helps to cool.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/BoseL1/permalink/10159635582172446/?comment_id=10159637158957446 Bose Professional]</ref>
