Getting headunit to work with Bose
I am seriously considering buying a new headunit. I really like the Pioneer models but the intallation guy told me it wouldn't work because the adapter would burn up at 45W. The Pioneer I like is 50Wx4. He said that the adapter is $50 and gets the Bose to work without redoing the whole car but I can only run 45W through it. Is this true? He didn't even ask what year my car was so I am hoping he doesn't know what he is talking about. Thanks!

I just called Crutchfield and they fixed me up, I hope. They say this adapter will work. I was $50 and its item # is 142C4NN03. I bought everything so it should be here within a week. I will let everyone know how it goes.

You should have just changed the speakers man, they suck anyways, well at least mine do

What the guy told you was very misleading on his part. It will work. Although it is Highly recommended to change all the speakers as well, the adaqptors do work. As far as headunit power...there are absolutely no radios actually giving you 50 watts X 4, typically you will recieve about 13-18 watts X 4

On the second page of the Audio FAQ's there are some really good links which should help out.

I just want my Bose to be a little bit louder. I'm not about to rip out everything and spend 2 grand just to make my trunk rattle. It sounds pretty darn good with a Delphi XM reciever with the cassette tape adapter because you can make it louder than stock by adjusting the Delphis output. If the max volume was 50, I'd be happy.

Pioneer only has one accessory wire, it is used for your power antenna as well as amp turn on. So short of adding a switch inline, no there is nothing that can be done.
