I heard from some dude that it had such a low output to the speakers that a normal adjustable output converter wont work. I have a speaker level to RCA adjustable converter that works with 2 to 30 watts of input signal. I was thinking that I would run it off the signal to the rear left speaker only, will this work? Also, where is the best place to connect the remote turn on lead? |

To interface an amplifier to a "premium" factory system, you need something like this: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_cleansweep.php?prod_id=369 I think Rockford fosgate makes a similar device. Follow the directions CAREFULLY when installing that unit. You do not hook it up to any speaker wires as those signals have already been crossed over by the factory amplifier. It must be hooked up to the signal feeding into the factory amp, from the factory HU. |

All they did was cut into the wires an use a line out converter to hook it up. IDK if the bose systems any different from my stock infinity, but I dont know why it wouldnt work. When I installed my HU in my cherokee (stock infinity system w/ stock amp) I had no problem hooking everything up and my stock amplifer worked as well as my mono amp. Just throwing my 2 cents in. I would think that whether or not you upgrade the HU, the stock system should theoretically work....just make sure to test it every step of the way to make sure its still workin...... |

Silver Member Username: LewassBoomfield Hills, MI USA Post Number: 773 Registered: Jan-06 | Hasn't anyone ever seen or done an install on the trailblazer factory bose system before? Can I use the rear left speaker to splice in the line out converter? And where is the best spot for the remote turn on lead? |
