skeurton Unregistered guest | i have a mazda 6 with a bose stereo. the bose amp is underneath the passenger seat. it runs to the four cabin speakers and has a preamp line running to the bose sub, which has its own amp. all the speakers are 2 ohms. now, what i would like to do is install another amp without removing the bose amp. i would like to use this for other audio devices (laptop, minidisc, iPod, etc.). so here's what i was thinking... -use a 4-channel amp with 2 RCA inputs and 1 RCA preamp output -split connection from laptop, MD, or iPod into 2 RCA connections to run into the 2 RCA inputs on the amp -run the speaker wires from the amp and splice them into the existing cabin speaker wires -run connection from the amp's RCA output and splice it into the preamp line going to the bose sub is this even possible??? if this can work, then the head unit would not even have to be on when using other audio devices. plus, i could put a switch inline to the amp so that i can turn it off if i decide to use the radio. it makes sense in my head. but then again, i've never really done any extensive audio work. what do you think? am i wasting my time even thinking about it? |

skeurton Unregistered guest | what if i left the sub out of the picture? will i still need LOC's to splice from the speakers to the amp? and would you happen to know where i can get this special LOC? thanks for the help. i really appreciate it. |
