Exclamation Aftermarket AMP to Stock Bose Radio

I did a search came up empty. Has anyone install a Line Output Converter to the factory Bose system? I already connected the battery but need assistance on where to connect the speaker converter and remote wire from the amp.

Trying to save a trip to the audio$$store as I'm pretty close on finishing.

Thanks in advance

If it is just for subwoofers then I would just tap into the bass speakers right there in the rear deck. That would be easiest. You will have to search around to find out where to hook up the remote wire. It has been years since I have done a stereo using the factory head unit. It will just be tapping into somthing that powers on when you turn on the key.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Did

you remember to install an inline fuse on the battery line?
We had a member that forgot and when an overload occurred it burnt all the loom from the battery to the ignition behind the dash.
Size the fuse properly.

In the trunk, find the CD changer power cable. The blue wire is basically a turn on. That might work for you.

Not yet and I will definitely do a search under your name. I ended up buying a Pac converter

But I need to check my JLaudio 500/1 I don't think I grounded it correctly as the thermal light flash's every 5 seconds. Worked fine when I pulled it out of my previous car and I defiantly install the Power correctly / Fuse not blown / so I'm assuming it's the ground wire... Taking a 2nd look at it this weekend
