I need some help guys, i bought a 01 acura cl type s, and the sound system is not working?? The radio and nav unit work perfectly, and all the front bose speakers are there, but the back are missing, there are 2 aftermarket speakers in there place?? There are also a bunch of cut wires in the trunk, aso i think the previous owner had a system and removed it before selling.

Is there some kind of a brain or amplifier unit to power the bose system, and would it be located in the trunk??

Would i be able to hook up all the speakers to a aftermarket ampifier to get everything to work properly, or could i throw a sub and amp in the trunk?? But how would i get the fronts to work?? the more help the better, i do not know much about car audio, i just really want my speakers to power on and work??

Ouch. Sounds like you're in for some fun and lot's of time. I'll bet the factory amp is still there just not connected. Most guys use the existing wires and cut them and hook up thier own amps. The factory amp is in the trunk. You know where the car jack is located? Remove the car jack and remove the trunk liner from that area. If there is a black box that has cooling fins on the outside then that's the amp. If there's nothing there then the previous owner took it out in which case you'll need to get a new 4 channel amp etc etc etc. Good Luck.
