Bose/system questions
Hey all. I'm new here but I've had my 04 BB with the Bose audio system for about half a year now and absolutely love it. I have a full aftermarket audio system and was looking into putting it in but i noticed the Bose amp the other day. I know from reading other threads that you are supposed to read the stickys and search, well i did and that didnt help. I'm not electronically gifted so I didn't understand any of it lol. To the question, I have a full aftermarket system already but I only want to put my 2 10s in right now. What cables do I need and how do I go about putting them in? I won't be installing them but my question is what do I need other than the cables that i bought when I had the system in my last car and is there anything I should let the person installing it know? The subs won't hurt the Bose system will they? Any info would be greatly appreciated bc i have no clue what i need to do to have them put in.

You can get away with just using a run-of-the-mill line output converter.(~$30) If you don't know what that is, the installer will. Tell them to tap onto the Bose amp OUTPUTS. Other than that, it's an install as usual.
But if you are keeping the factory headunit/radio/CD player, and are going to eventually replace the Bose speakers or add another amp, you'll want a line output converter that's a little higher end. I recommend the Audiocontrol LC6i: http://cgi.ebay.com/AUDIOCONTROL-LC6...QQcmdZViewItem If you use this, tell the installers to tap onto the Bose amp INPUTS. Where are you located? If you're in Florida, bring the car to my shop in Melbourne. |
lol nah man i'm in west virginia. alright well for right now i don't mind the bose speakers and just wanna throw my subs back in there to get some bass back. so i just to get an output converter? what about a harness? is that what that is? i know when i took my car down they looked at it and said it would need a harness of some sort because of the bose amp.

what is the remote turn on? sorry man i'm not trying to drive you nuts. i wish i knew more about this kind of stuff man so i could just do it myself but unfortunately i don't.all i know is that i have all of the cables from when i took the system out of my old car, and the installer told me the only thing i would need would be some kind of converter so i could run the amp to the factory HU and then he mentioned getting a harness so i could find the signal on the amp.
