Adding an amp to a stock C5 sound sytem - Bose

Halfway · 02-23-2006, 05:38 PM

Hi.

I am going ot be adding an amp to my stock Bose setup to run a sub. Do I absolutely need the converter (pac Audio) or can I run low level inputs into the amp from the stock rear speakers?

Thanks for any help!

great find. hoping i can wire it with low level inputs though. From what I am reading, I dont think it is possible

I tried something similar, e.g. the line level inputs off rear speaker wires in my 02' trailblazer, had nothing but problems. Signal would cut out, volume would fluctuate non stop...

would reccomend against it. spend the 40 bucks and save the time and aggravation.

The line level converters do not sound good and fade all the time.

you'll be glad you did, if you got it from the place i sent you that link to, you'll have it shipped fast. When i ordered everything, the adapter was the last thing i ordered and it ended up being the first thing i recieved. Also, its just a plug in and you dont have to screw around with the wiring. You just have to splice one wire for the remote turn on and thats it.

Just installed a New Alpine, with direct to back IPOD connection. Why would u even want to keep the stock radio?

STOCK SUCKS

um....because I dont have the money to do the swap right now. rather get headers and gears. not looking for earth shattering radio performance
