ive done searches and still no difinative answer...if i got 2 10" and an amp can i wire it directly to the line going into the rear speakers, and will this be a good set up...how many people have done this and are happy with it? thanks

 

I got an rca adapter. It plugs into the headunit and has 2 rca outputs. Works great. I tapped in before into the rear speakers, and did not like the results, although some people do it without any problems. The entire bose system would lose clarity, and there was slight engine noise. Also the rear speakers would play much lower. Make sure you tap into the speaker before the amp. I think that signal is low level so you can run it straight into your rca input on your amp. If i were you I'd just spend the 20 bucks and get an adapter, and save much agitation later.

 

Did you also reduce the bass going to your rear speakers?? I always found the bose worked those rear 6.5s too hard in the bass region.

anyone else have suggestions....please help me...

 

Yeah it just reduced the overall volume of the rear spearks. IMO it sounded lik $hit. Tapping into the rear speakers seemed to make everything sound like it was pyramid, not bose.....

 

what kind of amp and subs u have?
is your RCA convertor a high level to low level?
are there ***** to adjust the level?
you should get an RCA adapter that is High to low and you can adjust the levels.. i have one, and im gonna install it in a couple of days so ill post up with the quality...

and ill take taht advice of adjusting the bass levels with the **** on the BOSE deck.. i hope it helps with the quality.. and dosome adjusting on your amp too.. with the gains and bassboost and frequency..

 

The adapter I have does not adjust (there is not need). It plugs into the rear of the headunit so the signal is already low lever. Thats the converter i suggest you get. I wouldnt mess with the ones you adjust. What I have is basically a small box with a wire harness on each end. One end plugs into the bose headunit and the other into the cable that used to go to the headunit. The signal basically passes through the box.

 

So what's the name of the adapter called? This is the one where you plug into the rear of the Bose headunit. Also, how much did you pay for it and where did you purchased it from. Thanks.


* If you use the adapter, the one plug into the Bose headunit, it is like you have a headunit with 2 preouts...right?

 

They're commonly known as LOCs, or Line Output Converters. Do a search for those. And yes, with those, you get 2 line-out/pre-outs from your Bose.
