Any known/New adaptor for 03 MCS to Aftermaket Amp?

Anyone know if there is any new or Known Adaptor to connect 2003 MCS w/Nav to aftermarket amp to powered new speakers? So, far I only found adaptor which is a LOC from BOSE amp to aftermarket amp. I like to be able to explain to the shop or just making sure the stereo shop know what they are up against with in doing my installs to avoid any screw ups. Thanks.

Like Idangeli said, what are you exactly trying to do? If you want some ideas check out my sounddomain site in my sig... not a difficult system to work on.

Oem

Also, DEI has a MOST adapter coming for this. It is roughly600 bucks. What it will do is it will plug inline with the MOST fibre optic ring and give you RCA outs in line with the whole system.

Its kind of pricey for $600.00 on adaptor but do you have a link to to this little wonder?

Dei

The link is http://www.directed.com/

But you have to be a dealer or buy from an authorized dealer to get it.

do the MLs have a full fiber ring?, I was lucky that the 98-00 did not, I believe starting in 2001 they integrated the Changer alone as fiber

Could you be more clear as to what amps you want to integrate? subwoofers alone or are you going to swap out door speakers and all?

I want to connect my MCS to the new 4 channel amp for my 2 pairs of new MB_Q speakers and a 2 channel amp for the new 12" Sub. Just trying to get the most out of my HU since i heard that LOC from the Bose Amp is not as efficient.
