Alright, cool.

Okay there's a way to bypass the bose amps without using the PAC altogether. It requires the head unit to have front rca outputs and rear rca outputs. The red and white plugs coming out the back of your 1300. Since your's only has one output you could only use this if you wanted to wire the bose to be in mono instead of stereo which would make it sound about the same as it does already. This works well if you use a headunit with dual preouts.

All you have to do is connect all the bare wires that go from the pioneer harness to the bare wires on the pac. They should all match in color. Then hook the opposing harness to the stock harness, plug and play then adjust the gain controls on the pac. Done.

The 1300 doesn't have front outputs, so I guess that's not an option anyway.

nismos hit it on the head.

Whichever you want to do, is your choice. Make the decision and I don't mind helping you out with either option.

That's what I figured. The PAC has extra wires, though, I think. The HU is 16-pin, and I believe the PAC is 18-pin. So there should be 2 I don't use...I'll need to figure out which those are when I get the PAC.

A couple of hours, I believe. I have a friend who makes the trip to Clifton a couple times a month, that should be about the same distance I would think. I'll have to ask him then...

Haha thats alright, he may end up needing both of our help in the end anyways. Or we'll have to make him come out to Edison. It's always better to have more people who KNOW what their doing help, than one retard who knows nada

4150 xxk. Fronts will be running a set of mb quart mids and diamond tweets, with rears bridged to just a single pioneer sub in the trunk. It hits good for a <100 sub. Enough for me.

If you have someone that can solder and all that, you're in better shape than i thought.

Wow guys i missed alot, went to an xmas party and this thread blew up while i was gone

once again, i need to get things straight, I can bypass my stock bose speakers without using a PAC altogether?, Nismo i kinda lost u when u where explaining how u do this.
To clear things up:
-i have a 98 (not a 92 anymore) with stock bose
-bose headunit just broke and i need to replace it
-I have this alipine headunit : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1099388650606

Should I buy the PAC, and plug-in and play , or what is my other options?, are my bose speakers gona be alpine friendly?

With that unit you can wire in male rca plugs to the outputs of the unit, and splice them into the speaker wires of the harness. This will provide signal to the bose amps and you're good to go. No need to use the PAC.
