Thread: 2 ohm or 4 ohm out of the headunit- Bose

I read a post somewhere that said the bose 100watt system in my 01 p11 is 2 ohm. I don't think that's right, but wanted to confirm.

I'm planning on putting in a sub. Grabbing the signal at the rear speakers and before the bose amp and running it into my sub amp. Then just then use the high/low filter on my sub amp to cut the signal to 80hz.

I have a cap and I think it's 1watt and my sub amp is 1000 watts. Hopefully the alternator won't need to be upgraded. It would be even better even I didn't need the cap but don't need any headlights flickering.

Let me know what you think about the 2 vs 4 ohm and how powerful that alternator might be.

Thanks

Most factory audio systems are 2ohm. Remember, less resistance means more power as well.

Hopefully you mean the capacitor is 1 farad? Shouldn't have an issue with the alternator if you use a capacitor. Keep in mind your amplifier is 1000w MAX, not continuous. 1Fd capacitor will do just fine.

Yes, meant 1farad. So, my sub amp must be setup for 2 ohm? My sub is 4 ohm.
