Bose Troubles

I was wondering if anybody could help me out: we were doing an install of a simple subwoofer with a 2 channel amp onto the Bose system, but we couldn't get a signal from the main deck. Maybe some one could help me to get this thing working. I have the Bose converter to split the rear speakers for the sub, and everythign is hooked up correct, we just get no signal. And NO, getting rid of the Bose is not an option, i'm not looking to spend a thousand dollars here. (Black19 if you say anything on this I will slash the Nissan tires on your I30). All the rest thanks!

If your equipment can take a high level input, tap onto the output of the BOSE amps. Thats actually a better signal because it has gone through the BOSE amps and equalizer. It has base in it. The signal from the BOSE head unit is totally flat, the tone is added by the amps. You'll get much richer base that way.

I disagree, I've tapped directly off the bose's line level signal before (its a balanced signal, so anybody with eqiup. capable of balanced input can do this) and it is anything but flat. The treble is obviously messed with and the bass is tampered with. Its almost like an automatic loudness compensation circuit.

I have a writeup on this in the 4th gen FAQ.
