How did you wire it up? Through an adaptor? RCA preouts? or just straight wired?

Did you bypass your bose amps. If you didn't then you are screwed. You have to straight wire your HU to the speakers not the amp.

hmm...weird. you might have to splice the wires from the speakers and connecting them directly to the wires comming into the amp from the HU. THis will take some time.

Just put male RCA leads onto the factory speaker wires and plug them into your HU outputs.

Gus i told you with BOSE you have yo buy a High low converter thing...it converts the highoutput signal of the headunit into a lower signal that the BOSE understand....since BOSE runs at different ohms and takes a lower signal

High/low or line output convetors are used for adding amps not radios. What needs to be I have posted above. The other alternativ is to buy a $50 convertor made for interfacing Bose systems.
