Hey guys I need some 5th gen specific audio help. I am adding an amp and sub to my stock bose system. I heard that you can tap into the wires going to the rear sub, but I also heard that the amplifier that drives the subwoofer and speakers screws with the signal and filters out all the tones below around 40hz. So I was figuring what if I exposed the wires going into the amp(which is in the trunk) from the headunit and tapped into the rear speaker wires (before they got to the amp)

you can see the wires I am talking about under "input of amp" on the linked page. I would take the positive from the rear driver side speaker and the negative of the rear passenger side speaker. Since these arent amplified I dont need a hi-low converter do I? cant I just connect them to rca cables and plug the rca cables into my amplifier and get all the tones below 40hz.

 

still lookin for an answer on this one. Anyone have an answer or could point me in the right direction

 

check the audio forum, I think its in the how to thread. I'll see if I can find it.

yeah they tell you to get the pac unit for 60$ I know I can do that

I am wondering if I can do it without that unit.

I know people use the hi-low converter but I havent even been able to find many threads on that

 

I think you can by spicing some wires, what wires I don't know, have you checked the audio forum?

 

the idea I'm talking about I saw in the audio forum but I cant find that post again

 

your gonna need a hi/low converter..... splice the wires from the stock sub to the converter, connect the rcas and ur all set...

 

heres a link of where u can get the converter for cheap http://www.carstereoexpo.com/b6bohileco.html

 

You don't need the adapter at all. Come to the audio forum.
