how do u wire subs into the bose system

I have a set of JL W6's just sitting in my trunk. i was told i can pick up the remote wire and RCA wires straight from the stock amp in the trunk. Has any one done this? Or is this the hacks way to wire them in.

I have the Bose system in a 2000 Maxima and I added a JL10W3 powered by a Fosgate 300Watt amp by using a PAC line level adapter connected to the right and left front speaker inputs before it goes into the Bose amp. I'll have to check the wire colors later.

i have a line out converter for sale if you want it i used this to add only a sub. Line In from the sub, RCA out to your amp and you're done. you can adjust gain too if you want.
$20 shipped.
