'''Question'''

:What are the problems or benefits of ~~pluging~~ in a different sub cabinet to the PAS. It it even possible or feasible. Say you have a 4 ohm 250 watt EV sub with a 15 inch speaker and you plugged into it instead of the B1. What could you expect and is there any possible damage you could cause.

or could you use that instead of a second B1 for more bottom.

* 250 Watts at 4 ohms

Be careful that whatever you connect to the Power Stand Bass Output is compatible with this. Note: On the ~~L1™~~ Classic, this connection is called Amp3 Out, and in later versions that connection has a blue background.

Q: What is the Crossover Point for the powered Power Stand Bass Output?

A: This depends on if there are if there are {{B1}}s attached. There is a hard cut off at the frequencies noted, for the signal provided to the Cylindrical Radiator® loudspeaker.

* '''40-180Hz''' Band Pass when no {{B1}}s are attached to the Power Stand

* '''40-180Hz''' If any {{B1}}s are connected to the Power Stand then proprietary EQ is applied to the output to optimize the performance of the B1s. In other words, if there are {{B1}}s ~~connecte~~ directly to the Power Stand, the the Bass Line Out is optimized for ''more'' {{B1}}s as would be appropriate when using the {{A1 EB}}.

Q: Can I mix {{B1}}s with other subs?

In contrast a multi-way PA of the time had between 2 and 4 different speakers all dedicated to specific non-overlapping frequency areas. The bass produces were typically called bass-bins or bass cabinets and not subwoofers, as they actually do something different.

Bose was probably one of the first (if not the first), that made the split system (single bass box, multiple small ~~satelite~~) commercially successful for home use with the AM-5 speaker. As commonplace as it is today, at the time it was a pretty radical idea and many, many audio experts stated that can't possibly work (sounds familiar ?). Anyway, as we tried to name the black bass-producing device, we felt bass module was a good choice as it was functionally different from a subwoofer.

After it turned out, that the concept did indeed work many more manufactures turned out products in the same category and in the process subwoofer became the common term. Maybe the marketing departments wanted to imply that it's similar to a real movie sound system, maybe they just didn't know the difference.
