I have a 97 4th gen with bose I am installing a pioneer Hu and JBl speakers but I wan to bypass the factory amps and use the factory wiring from the headunit to the speakers. What color is are the speaker wires that I need to splice into

 

go thru Crutchfield or www.installdr.com for some additional information on that...the latter will be the better of the two I think

 

I could be wrong, but here's something to try. Pull the door panel and see what color wires run into the bose amp. Match them to the wires in the harness coming off the Bose HU. I mean they do have to run from the HU to the amp in the door, so they should be the same color straight through. Keep in mind, I have not tried this myself.........yet!

 

That will be a waste of your time. The colors change like 5 times between the door and the HU. Each wire harness it goes through, it changes color. It's really a mess. Best bet is the service manual.

 

thanks for your help but I just ran new speaker wires and it sounds fine

 

Good. You took my suggestion before I had a chance to say it.
