I just bought two MTX 12" subwoofers and a 250watt MTX Jackhammer amp. I bought a amp wiring kit, rca cables, and a line out converter. I need instructions (pictures would be great) of how to wire this up to the stock bose head unit. I know how to remove the dash pieces to get the radio out, just need instructions on wiring. Here are some pics of my new set up:

 

no. you don't need to pull out the radio because you can't tag the lineout converter on the back of the bose radio. you have to do it at the bose amp which i am 99% sure is behind the passenger rear seat. you also can get your remote wire there as well.

or you can tag it at the rear speakers as well. i'm at home right now so i can't get the wiring colors at the amp but for the rear speakers:

Left Rear +/-: Blue&Yellow/Gray&White
Right Rear +/-: Red&Yellow/Brown & White

if i remember to check this thread at work tomorrow. i can get you the remote wire. since you have an automatic, it'll be easy to drill a hole in the blank clutch plate for the power wire. ground your ground wire to either a factory bolt somewhere in the rear or take a flathead and scrape away paint to get a better contact ground. CHECK TWICE, DRILL ONCE! sick of reading horror stories of people drilling through their gas tank!

 

Thanks for the info, but how does the amp know when to turn on? I thought you had to run a wire from the HU to the amp. What do you mean by remote wire? I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff. I have a remote to control the bass from the amp, and a amp wiring kit.

 

Please ignore the part about the remote wire in the last post, I am a complete idiot. If possible could I get some pics of where and how to tap the LOC and the remote wire to the Bose amp?

 

Remote Bass Knob & Remote Turn On Wire are 2 completely different things. the knob just adjusts the volume/bass of the subs from the amp. the remote wire tells the amp to turn on & off w/ the radio. the factory bose amp has a turn-on wire.

i forgot in those cars you have a factory sub on the rear deck. you can grab those wires.

there's gonna be 2 reds and 2 greens either on the sub or at the bose amp. Red is positive, Green is negative, use both of these and tie them together on the LOC. Amp-Turn on at the bose amp is Blue or you can get it behind the radio and it's going to be Light Yellow in color. you will want to verify these wires with a multimeter. if you don't know what that is, then i suggest you take it to a shop because you can do serious damage to your electrical if you dont know what your doing

 

Look at the audio FAQ. That has all the info you need.

 

My dad is actually wring it, he wired our entire house along with all of the surround sound. I'm pretty sure he can figure it all out, he just wanted to make sure of the correct wires.

 

aside from the power and ground wire, all the wires you need is at the factory amp. use a volt meter to test for remote wire and as for rear speakers you can see them from the trunk.

 

I got my sytem installed last Saturday with no problems. The system sounds great, but my spoiler vibrates really bad. Is there any way to stop it?
