has anyone installed an amp and a sub on the Bose system. Someone please help

Yes i have. I put in one 10inch jl audio w3 and amp. There is an adpater that you need to hook this up to the bose system which hook ups behind the radio.

Yes!

I hope this helped!

yeah it did help but what adapter do i need. and do you have any any step by step help on how to hook it up. im also in the process of building a false floor and a custom box

OMG i been looking for just this!

Is there a DIY? I would love a step by step and all the stuff i need.

LOL I know me too. Ive had the stuff since I bought the car in June LOL. But I need a step by step n wut adapter LOL

Never fear, Jedi is here!

you will need an LOC and you want to tap the rear speakers for your sub connections.
here is my setup: http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=103771

If you're cheap, you can just cut into the signal before it goes into the Bose amp in your trunk like I did. Use little wire splices, and the color code in the other thread:

Works fine going right into my amp's RCA inputs. I used the pink wire as my power on trigger. No problems so far!

where do I buy the adapter

Oo LOL my bad I been in school all day. Now my brain is on standby LOL

isn't there another way to beef up the bass in the Bose without puttin an amp n sub?

nope, not with those speakers.

you COULD just replace the rears with something like the Infinity's I used. they should have a little more low end power then the bose.

You could also get one of those 'bazooka tubes'

O ok cause my friends srt4 has a Bose I think they made a couple hundred with Bose and his Bose has more bass than mine =[ we were trying to figure out why cause he has the same speakers so we thought there was another way to beef it up.

not all bose are created equal. My buddy has a nissan altima with bose and his sounded better.
(which is why I ripped mine out and threw it in the trash) :D:


P.S. got your PM. It was made by a buddy of mine years ago.

LOL damn srt4 n altimas LOL. Thnx for all your help guys

Rear deck, front tweeters, and front center channel can all be replaced with aftermarket speakers while keeping the bose amp. door woofers, not so much.

it's not so much that all speakers aren't created equal, which they can differ... but mainly the difference in the quality that you hear is the acoustics of the car, every car will sound different with the same speakers.

explain more

More means that one thing is a greater amount then another.

You should really read the stickies in the interior/electronics section of the forum.

I have 2 10" JL Audio W0 along with a 600 watt Koiiler amp installed with the bose system. You can buy that harness pretty much at any local electronic store that sells car audio. BTW, when you hook into the system you might need to install a toggle switch to manually turn the amp/subs on and off. The Bose system tends to give the amp/subs power first before the speakers which causes a nice loud hummmmm...

The infinity speakers sounds better than the Bose speakers? Isn't the Bose suppose to be high quality?

......."suppose to be"..........

Very true.

i have a kicker L7 10in with a 600watt alpine amp. what i used to get everything together(and sounding the best it can) is a processor. u can tune everything with it, it about the size of a small amp. it a lil expensive on install cuz it takes a few hours to dial it all in but well worth it.

Yes You Guys Saved My Life!!!!

When I put my sub in, I just tapped the rear speakers at their terminals. Most definately the easiest way to do it. Even though the signal has been amplified through the Bose amplifier, it does not sound bad at all.

Does anyone have a step-by step i have a sub and amp and would like to try and install it but i have no clue where to tap into it or anything i need to do.

so do i thats why i made this thread and some ppl told me you cant except the guy who did it lol
