use line-level inputs on your amp; this will sound worse than aftermaker hu with good rca connections. there is a PAC adapter for bose hus, not sure if it exists for non-bose units. maybe somebody else will chime in.

Non-bose? Simple, use a line output converter. It will give you the RCA outputs you need.

They're cheap and can be had at any audio shop. Hell, Wal-Mart even carries them these days.

Def don't do it. The non bose is harder than the bose to wire in subs......


What amp are you using? Does it have speaker level inputs? If so you have the option of splcing into the rear speakers inputs and wiring those directly to the amp, that will give you the signal that you require to get sound from the amp.

hmmm, the post above this one didn't work for me. I have a RF 3002 amp with 2 RF P2 12's... i had everything hooked up correctly, splicing the lines from the rear speakers into a set of rca connectors, turned on the cd player, and.... silence. None of the speakers in the entire car worked. I removed the rca's and the rest of the speakers worked again.. somewhat odd if you ask me... anyway, help for me (and the fella that posted above) is GREATLY appreciated :-)
