I want to take out the factory sub and put something else in the trunk with an amp, but I dont want to get rid of the factory head unit. First does the factory bose have a RCA outputs? if not than is there a way to hook the new amp up with the wires that go to the factory sub? Thanks any suggestions are appreciated. Greg

You can buy a LOC and use that to get signal for the amp. Then just run power ground and remote to the amp and hook it up to the sub. LOC = line output converter.

 

You don't even need the LOC.

Where in Philly are you located?

 

True I guess you could splice RCA's into the signal wires.

 

Near center city, thanks for the info...will get that kit for $100.

 

You can save yourself the $100 and just splice.

edit: I'm in the Philly area quite a bit...right around 42nd and baltimore.

 

Whoa, Please do not spend $100 on an UN NEEDED "kit". It is an absolute waste of money when a cheap set of RCA leads can simply be spliced in.

 

I'm not sure where I would need to splice them into... Is there a write up?

42nd and baltimore, huh? Not far from Hospital of the Universiy of Pennsylvania where I work.

 

Yea there is in the FAQs, otherwise just do it behind the HU, my preference anyway.

 

Nice thanks Pearl

 

If ya need help let me know. Next time I'm down there we could meet up I'll give ya a hand.

 

Any advice for the non-bose system?

Is it possible to mount components inside the stock a-pillar speaker holes?

 

Not to hijack - I thought a noob can post a new thread after 15 posts.. is this not the case?

 

Yes, components in the stock A-pillar location is fine.

You should be able to post a new thread.

 

I spliced into the harness going into the amp in the trunk. I got the wiring colors off the Owens Family site. Anyone know the link? I ran power from the battery and ran a short ground wire. ( don't use the factory ground in harness, you'll get nasty interference) Everything wire you need to do 1 or more amps is in that harness including the remote wire for the amp on/off.
SUPER EASY INSTALL!!

 

Good stuff I got to check out that site. Thanks

We can meet up sometime when it gets warmer outside, I aint doing any mods in this cold
