I'm buying a used 2 channel Alpine V12 Amp off my Friend along with a SubWoofer. And I'm planning to add this to my STOCK Bose system in my 2K1 Max.

Now How do I do this and what Extra stuff do I need to buy besides Wiring???


He's gonna give me a Phoenix Gold Capacitator as well (don't know if I REALLY need this)

Take a close look at the bose sub and you will see there are 2 wires going to it from the bose amp. A black wire and white wire. These are the signal wire. The bose sub has its own amp built in so all you need to do is clip those wires and run the signals thru a crossover and into an amp..

Can I NOT keep the BOSE Woofer and ADD another One to it???

Can I just TAP the wire and add an AMP and Woofer AFTER the Bose one???

Don't know the specs for the OEM bose system in the Max because i don't have one, however in my audi A6 there is a bose system and i know that all of it's speakers are 1ohm stable, i don't think that the v12 is 1ohm stable and you might be looking at some serious frying issues there. Check to make sure you don't have 1ohm speakers
