i want to hook up my 2 12" subs and my amp to my 2000 max with bose. it has a bose sub. i just want to no if anyone has a write up on how to do it. i was thinking of tapping into the preamps before the stock sub. but theres only one sub so theres no left and right. any ideas

thanks

 

Anyone?

 

Unplug your stock sub, use a line out converter(converts speaker wire to RCA outputs), then connect the RCAs to your amp. that way you will have a stong audio signal going into your amp. Depending on what amp/sub you have or decide to go with, you will only have to turn up the gains only slightly.

I did the same thing on my G35 before installing my AVIC Z2. I was happy with it!

 

on the LOC there is a right and left + and - u have to splice both side +s from the + on the sub and use the sub - for both sides as well, u will have to run a remote wire as well. a local shop did mine a while back but i ended up going with an aftermarket HU anyways

 

^^Yup! Some may have an additional brown or black wire. Those will not need to be connected unless you have some sort of feedback in the system. can't say I have needed to hook them up in the 10+ years of installing

 

i never hooked up any of those extra wires either

 

ok so i bought the loc (line our converter) and hooked it up like one you guys said and it sounds great(well as good as it can sound with a stock h/u) but i cant find where to connect my remote wire to. i tried the red power wire but that has constant power (on even when the car is off). i cant seem to find the right one. well i only tried the red one because it got too late. maybe one of you knows the schematic for the remote on for the stock bose sub. there are 5 wires, i got most of them figured out obviously. white (positive) small black (negative) red (power) bigger black wire (negative ground) and green (possibly the remote turn on for the bose sub?) i guess ill figure it out tomarow.

 

ok so its not the green one. im out of ideas where else in the trunk can there be a remote turn on wire

 

There will be one going into the bose amp in the trunk..dunno which one though

 

Well there are A LOT of wires goinng into the amp in the trunk. Can someone tell me what exactly the green wire going to the sub does?

 

i will go out tomorow morning and tell u exactly which one to splice into i removed my LOC a few months ago

 

thanks a bunch. im dying to tidy everything up in my trunk there are wires everywhere. every time i drive somewhere i have to open the trunk and connect the remote wire to the red power wire to hear my subs. lol

 

the wire is green with a white stripe GL man

 

For future reference, an LOC isn't really required.

 

thanks it was the green wire after all. i guess i put it wrong

an loc is not required but it makes a huge difference sound quality wise.
