connecting basslink sub, need help!
UPS just delivered my basslink and i want to make sure it works ok. I have '98 GLE (bose system). Infinity says that i can just tap into the rear speakers for a signal, and power should come from the battery - but is there a way to get power from the rear speakers instead? i think i read somewhere that the rear bose speakers have their own amps, so i was wondering if i could tap power from there? sorry, i ran a search but i am just too incompetent in the car audio arena 
. I'd really appreciate the help!

You may want to double check w/ your sub manufacturer. I don't think the BOSE signal is the same as a HIGH LEVEL input. I think you'll need a seperate converter. As far as using the speakers power supply for the sub I wouldn't recommend this - your sub will probably want a good bit more power. Your best bet would be to run a wire all the way from the battery to the amp and then just chassis ground the amp within 18 inches of the amp. Hope this helps. BTW a friend of mine just installed one in his car and it sounds pretty sweet.

"Now You need the PAC box....which you can purchase from Circuit City. What this box does, it transforms the 1 ohm Bose signal to the normal ohm signal that most stereos use today to hook up amps, etc. It has 6 wires on it, 2 are brown and those are grounds, and no need to connect them per instructions. The other 4 are the speakers which are the ones you need to tap into the left and right channels + & - sides....on the other end of this box are RCA female connectors which you will connect a RCA cable into and run it to your crossover"
..is this what you are talking about?
