Thread: How do I hook up a sub to the Bose system?

The easiest way is to tap into the low level inputs from the HU to the bose amp, solder RCA leads to them. I get weird issues where when I first turn the car on my HU wont turn on unless I hit the window down button and stuff though....

So I can still tap into the system in the trunk as long as I use the INPUT to the amp? I kinda figured I'd have to use the input instead of the output. I don't suppose anyone has a wiring schematic of the Bose amp?
