If there is sound going to the rear speakers, and you get a hi/low connector with RCA adaptor, then that should be all you need in my experince. You are getting signal from that wire, then converting it to rca, then plugging it into the amp. From there you hook up your wires and go. If you are getting no sound, check that you have the rca's in the right spot, check other speakers to see if they work, also try a new amp and see if the amp is the problem. Might be a fuse in the amp. might be a few things. Post back if you none of this helps. Might have a bad convertor also. Brand new doesnt mean 100% working.

I can't say I have ever seen that before. Check your fuses for the BOSE/AMP Fuse
