~~== External Subs==~~

=== Passive (unpowered) Loudspeakers ===

Using loudspeakers other than the {{B1}} 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. ~~This applies to all models to date)~~

==== {{Classic nl}} and {{Model I nl}}====

{{~~#lst~~:PS1 Power Stand / Bass Line Out~~|Bass Module Output}}~~

For the sake of those attaching third party passive speakers (an unsupported application).

Output if no {{B1}}s detected

* 40-{{{Crossover|180}}} Hz Bandpass (that is: NO B1 EQ)

If one or two {{B1}}s detected (or resistors used across NL4 2+ / 2- pins to emulate detection)

* 40-{{{Crossover|180}}} Hz with different EQ curves. For details on how to do this see: [[Activating B1 EQ Curves]]

For more details about the Power Stand outputs see: [[PS1 Power Stand / Bass Line Out]]

==== {{Model II nl}}====

{{~~#lst~~:L1® Model II Power Stand / Bass Line Out|Bass ~~Module Output~~}}

For the sake of those attaching third party passive speakers (an unsupported application).

Output if no {{B1}}s detected

* 40-{{{Crossover|200}}} Hz Bandpass (that is: NO B1 EQ)

If one or two {{B1}}s detected (or resistors used across NL4 2+ / 2- pins to emulate detection)

* 40-{{{Crossover|200}}} Hz with different EQ curves. For details on how to do this see: [[Activating B1 EQ Curves]]

For more details about the Power Stand outputs see: [[L1® Model II Power Stand / Bass Line Out]]

=== Active (powered) Loudspeakers===

Using powered loudspeakers with any of the {{L1 nl}} systems is not supported.

==== [[PackLite® power amplifier Model A1]] ====

The [[PackLite® power amplifier Model A1]] is part the {{l1 nl}} System. It can be used to power up to two {{B1}}s. 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 nl}} you are using.

* [[PS1 Power Stand / Bass Line Out|Model I or Classic Bass Line Out]]

* [[L1® Model II Power Stand / Bass Line Out|Model II]]

You will probably use an powered loudspeaker in the same way as you would connect an [[A1|PackLite®]] amp.

Please see [[PackLite® power amplifier Model A1]] for extensive notes that include ideas that can be applied to other systems.
