If you're just installing subwoofers and never plan on replacing the Bose speakers and powering them with an aftermarket amp, a regular cheap non-powered LOC will be just as effective. The advantages a high-end powered LOC gives are a non-issue for just a sub amp.

LMAO subwoofers=no talent or musical propensity. No person that likes music will have them.
But you go.

Some day trolls will learn that the existence of the subwoofer came long before rap/hiphop/techno music and is a necessity to a well rounded and complete sound. Does it take a pair of 12"s? Of course not. But your blanket statement shitting on the pure existence of subwoofers is ill-founded and ignorant.

it is obvious he doesn't understand much about the frequencies that are attenuated by various components of an audio system. He's probably "that guy" that has the treble cranked all the way up and bass all the way low lol.

Check out the sticky at the top of the forum. Hint, tap in the trunk.

Just one. Pick one. All three provide a 12V ignition source.

I can't understand what you're saying. Please use complete sentences and spell out your words.

From what I gather, it sounds like your Pioneer amp is turning on, but not playing. You just swapped in another amp and it plays fine. Well that would mean something is wrong with your amp. Check the fuses on the amp. If they're fine, your amp is probably shot. That's what WalMart amps do...
