C5 H/U install help

I decided to try and install my old Jensen 9510(yes I know very old indash) in my 03 Z06. I currently have the SVEN2 and the SVHGM4 harness. I'm trying to just add my h/u and retain my factory bose speakers/subs. The directions I am following are:

-Match all colored wires on the deck to the SVHGM4. Make sure to connect the remote/power antenna

-Set the SVEN2 to "Wired" on the input and output. Also making sure that both knobs are cranked fully clockwise

Does this sound correct? I read somewhere that the SVEN2 wont power if the preamp voltage less than 4. My jensen has a preamp ouput of 2 volts. Will I be ok and will the factory subs come on since I am not adding an additional sub? I tried searching but could only find an answer to this when someone was adding a sub and a h/u and the SVEN2 didn't work due to the lower voltage. Thanks!

wire it as stated

the svhgm4 is hit or miss works great for some works like crap for others, i never use the harness i just hardwire the sven2

i thought u set the output switch to rca but i can never remeber, try it both ways

Everytime I search I find something that contradicts something else! I'll just try it both ways. I didn't want to go through with the install only to find out that it wont power the stock amps due to my 2 volt output but it seems like it works fine for some?
