[QUOTE="kozzy7778, post: 8541115, member: 671946"] I'm confident that the stock speakers are 1 ohm. It's a Bose system that has its own external amplifier and 8" subwoofer, it just comes stock in some '02 Maximas. I know that 1 ohm speakers coming stock are not typical but in this case Bose opted to use 1 ohm speakers. That being said, running 1 ohm speakers on a head unit designed to put out wattage at 4 ohms is a recipe for overheating the head unit big time. I'm just hoping someone here can speak to the potential damage I am looking at, namely whether or not ANYTHING about the head unit besides the internal amp in the head unit could have been damaged. This includes outputs, internal components, etc. Anything other than the internal amp. [/QUOTE]
