Hi,
I have a 99 BOSE stereo, and wanted to know if i needed to buy some sort of adaptor to add an amp and sub,
or what would the most inexpensive way of adding a sub into the system? with a speaker level input?

thanks guys

 

its relatively cheap compared to guttin the whole sytem. there is an adaptor- ask circuit city or best buy

 

get a hi to low adapter, very easy to install

 

No, an adaptor is not 'needed'

 

a pac then?

 

Geeesh you kids nowadays...an adaptor is NOT needed. None, nada

 

pac roem-nis2

 

Wow, do people just skip to the end and post??

An adaptor IS NOT NEEDED

 

but Don isnt he talking about having a bose hu as well? i dont understand? i mean if you do get a aftermarket hu then you just need the harness and run the subs off the rca from the hu right?
but with a bose hu how else are you going to get a signal to the amp?

 

The signal comes from the Bose HU. There is no power coming from the HU itself, just a signal to the amp. Tap Female RCA leads into the signal wires, then run your RCAs as you normally would with an aftermarket HU.

Here a pic for reference..

 

which wires would i have to cut??

and could i do this with an aftermaket hu with one preoutput??

 

You dont Cut any wires. Just tap into them. The roll is reversed if adding an aftermarket HU, splice the same wires but with Male RCA ends, then plug into the preout section of the aftermarket HU. It is strongly advised that you have two sets of preouts from the aftermakret HU.

wait, what about y cables on the back of the hu, that would work right?

 

Ok, which signal wires do we have to tap into? any color codes?

 

It's official, i just ordered the PAC AOEM-NIS2 off cobymoby today, it's gonna save me a lot of hassle, and will give me flexibility when it comes time to change other audio components in the car

 

I love watching peoples money go in the sh!tter....

 

my moneys gone through a cess pool then
