In Reply to: RE: The Bose 901 uses 1 ohm speakers in series to provide a nominal 8 ohm impedance. posted by David S. on September 29, 2014 at 15:38:51:
The Bose car stuff often used the 4", 1 ohm driver from a 901 with an amp built in to a plastic box that housed both and was of a proper volume for the driver to perform "well". It also had an EQ circuit based on the environment and placement. I've often called them one of the least offensive pieces of car audio. We repaired them in the 80's and 90's. The amps would go bad, usually caps like 90% of the time, not transistors. The drivers almost never went bad.
