I believe the 901 used in the discos way back were a commercial version designed to handle heavier high volume usage.
Both however, could handle all kinds of power and were a good match for the “super amps” that were also arriving on scene.
I recall taking a motorcycle ? ride with a buddy of mine to a Holiday Inn for a demo of the WAVE radio.
As usual, BOSE put on a clever show with it....hiding it behind a big video screen, that raised to impress everybody about the little box with the big sound.
The cutaway units showing the air channels were also on display.

Yes. I believe the industrial ones were the 801s / 802s. Many many models back then shared the same essential driver design so manufacturing processes could be the same, but the 80?s used kevlar and some other different materials. The cones and surrounds were black instead of blue.
