Installing components with Bose headunit?

I've been searching for a while now, and am unable to find what i'm looking for. What impedance do the bose mids run at? Can you run 4 ohm components off of the bose system in the doors? This will only be temporary until my AVIC-Z1 comes in, which is backordered for the time being. I just figured i'd get a head start on the system for now and do the doors. Thanks in advance guys.

Wait wait.. so you're planning to run comps off the Z1? Or you're going to amp them? If you're going to amp them just do it all at once, no sense in making more work for yourself.

Yes, I'm going to amp them, but like i said, my head unit is backordered for now. I was just going to throw them in for hte time being, on the bose system to get a head start. If they won't work, no prob. I've been competing in car audio for years, I just don't know about this ****ty bose system. Thanks for the info though guys....I'll just wait.

My system is going to consist of this:

Headunit: Pioneer AVIC-Z1
Mids: MB Quart PCE216's - front and rear
Frontstage Amps: Two Memphis MCA-300's
Sub Amp: Memphis Mojo MC-2000d
Sub: RE XXX 18", or RE MT 18" (undecided yet)

Well then you're going to have to wait, unless you tap a line level prior to the amp and run speaker wire to the speakers.

Ya, i considered that, but i don't have a line level, and I'm sure the bose headunit doesn't push very much power.
