I love how when you have an audio question they tell you to post it in the audio forum. And then nobody ever responds in the audio forum.

I'm a 5.5 Gen Owner but I'll try to answer your question. It looks like you have the right adapters listed. I would also recommend a soldering iron, solder, flux, and shrink tubing.

Your problem is going to be (and don't quote me but it's an issue with 5th gen Bose) that stereo you picked out only has 2.5 volt Pre-Outs. The factory amps require 4 volt pre-outs. You are going to have trouble getting any volume out of your new system. I would pick another radio and pay attention to the number of pre-outs and their voltage. Again you need two sets (front and rear) and they must be at least 4 volts.

Don't need the last one. A 70-7550 will work just fine.

With the 70-7550 you have to bypass the factory amps and you'll get poor quality audio in my opinion. Most head units aren't designed to work with the Bose 1ohm speakers and you can actually damage the head unit's amplifier that way. Read this. http://carstereohelp.net/gotquestionsQ10.htm

Negative. Connect it as a standard harness. No bypassing or running to each driver is needed.

i got another question u think i should just buy another amp aswell to make the sound better?

Pearl96Max

That is up to you, but with OE speakers it will not make a drastic change. Especially not one to offset the cost of the amp, cabling, installation, etc.

thanks appreciate ur help, if i was to get a amp does it have to be a specific one or i can get anyone? 3 months later i do want to replace the rear speakers since they do pop alittle when the bass is turned up

Any half way decent amp is fine.

ALL decks have 'volts' it is just where and how they are. I believe you are still struggling with the thought that you need 'high voltage' preouts - you do not.

Good choice, I sell a ton of them.
