I plan to tap my bose system just before the bose amp to add an amp/sub. Using a Hi-Lo for the signal and the oem remote for my amp remote (blue wire).

It was suggested that I use a relay when tapping the remote. Can anyone clue me into what I need? I was just going to cut and splice with a butt connector (1 in 2 out).

for the Hi-Lo should I just tap it from the inputs at the amp, or splice before?

Looking at ebay for: 12ft 4awg wire, 4awg connectors, 4-4awg gold terminals, hi-lo convertor, 100 amp circuit breaker, and rca cables. I prefer to deal with orgers when possible, feel free to email me. Also interested in lightweight sound deadener.
thanks guys.

 

I know that in a 5th gen it's suggested to add a relay for the remote turn on. I don't have the wiring diagram off hand though.

I don't know how far you are from Edison, but I suggest making the trip up to see Don for your system. It will be well worth the trip and you know the work will be nothing short of top-notch.

 

I could always pass it off to one of my employees.

 

When using a factory turn on, I would recommend it.

Standard SPDT relay..

87 = Constant 12V
86 = Ground
85 = remote IN from radio
30 = remote OUT to amp(s)

 

That chart is your b!tch. I don't mind helping, just let me know.

woo woo 1900 posts.

 

thanks, that clears it up for me. I assume using my distribution block for my amp will be safe to use for the relay's constant 12V?

 

What chart? That paper I gave you? That was for YOU my friend. I know my relays.

 

Yessir thatll be fine

 

now I just have to order on ebay

 

a relay?? Just go to the shack

 

actually I found a relay I never used, I need the other items in post 1.

 

No need for a LOC either though.

 

If you relay will be in your trunk, or wherever your dist block will be.

 

New acronym.

FOS.

full of ****. Describes you perfectly, my friend.

 

Care to back that up sir?

 

Later. out the door for class at 4:30.

You refer to the sheet, just admit it
