I dont know how well it works, i just ordered mine friday and it should be here by the end of the week, i have heard a lot of .org members saying great things about this so im sure it is wut u need. Just dont go and buy the walmart version, i regret doing that, my subs do not sound the way i would like them to at all!

Hope this helps, good luck!

of course, that's only if you have the bose system in your car.

if you don't have the bose system, use a line level converter. it takes the rear speaker wires and converts them to RCAs which you plug into your sub amp.

however, some amps have speaker-level or line-level inputs on them. so you can go straight from the rear speaker wires to the amp.

 

thanks guys i think i found one just wanted to be sure this is what i need.

yup, that works

 

I currently am running two amps while using the stock non-bose head unit. I have two converters. The only drawback is that you will find alternator noise is more common than when using an aftermarket head unit. Whether you have the amp(s) grounded proplerly or not, or have the power wire and speaker leads on opposite sides of the car as well. I believe these converters are used more on a "have-to" basis. I am pleased with the overall sound quality of my setup, but just by adding an aftermarket head unit, you'll be suprised how the sound quality of your setup increases. I will be upgrading to a DVD setup sooner or later (when funds are available) which is why I am still utilizing the factory head unit. I see it as a temporary solution which helps me upgrade from the sh!tty OEM paper speakers.
