HELP adding sub to bose?

OK i know the bose sends a 5volt signal to the amps so can i splice into the wires and connect right to my high level inputs? This is what i read but it doesnt make sense. if it is sending a 5 volt signal shouldnt somehow go to the rca inputs since my old headunit had 5volt output also? i thought highlevel converted say 15watts rms into a signal?

I think you need a line converter,but you can post it in the audio and electronic for more help.

Get a line level converter, pull down the amps off the rear speakers, and tap into the speaker wires that come off the amp and into the speaker.
