I searched and read most if not all threads about bose and couldn't find what i needed. So i went to my car to use trial and error and it worked but horribly.

Here's the deal, i got a new pioneer deck into my 92se to replace busted bose one. $50 for a oem harness and it was a cake to install. Since the resistance in bose speakers is so low and two of my rear speakers are shot i wanted to get more sound so i got two rear 6x9 used pioneer speakers total peak 150 Watt. Then i unplugged my rear bose speakers and disconnected pre-amps. Now, here's the deal: The cable that goes from receiver to pre-amp and then into speakers has 4 wires. Right cable has thick red and thick black wire as well as thin red/white and thin red/black. Left cable has thick red and thick black as well as thin blue/white and thin blue/black. The thick wires i left uncut. The thin wires that have double color i cut and connected to speakers but all i got is a very very quiet sound and only when i turn up the volume and give all the power to the rear. If anyone has any ideas, please help me.

Thanx

 

I assume that you want to use the Pioneer HU to power your speakers? My reccomendation is to run all new wires out to your new speakers and don't even touch the Bose wiring.

I second that recommendation.

 

bose is high input wiring.. do as the other guy suggested before.. run new wires.. because your deck is going to put out low input.. and something is going to burn baby burn

 

i tried to take out all 4 bose speakers to power just the two pioneer ones. it didn't work either, same effect - very very quiet sounds. a friend of mine had those speakers before and he had to get 2channel amp to get those speakers to work and he also had pioneer hu. so i want to try that before i get new wiring or i will get new wiring when i get the amp.
