Like I said, I do have the factory Bluetooth [/COLOR][/COLOR]...so how do I bypass this so I can have my steering wheel stereo controls back?

 

On the bluetooth adapter in the trunk, there's a harness that plugs in. Connect the identical red to red, yellow to yellow, green with green.

Pretty simple.

 

I have a 2006 G35 coupe with bose/bluetooth.

when you guys disconnect the rear 6x9 subs are you just cutting the wires from the bose amp outputs? Or the inputs? Or is there a physical clip near the 6x9's that I can actually disconnect? I've tried accessing the 6x9's from the trunk but I started seeing adhesive pull near the rear window trim so I stopped.

 

Just disconnect the clips. There's a small section of adhesive holding the felt trunk liner trim, but otherwise it's just the pop-in clips.

 

Connected/installed a sub yesterday by following step by step from battery to blue clip off the Bose amp, thank you and great write up!

 

Is JL the way to go for a 35 coupe?

 

what color cable do i use to run the remote on my 04 non nav bose?

 

According to the service manual, the amp power signal wire on an 04 coupe is sky blue at the amp harness, but it's green/yellow at the back of the radio.

 

Anyone know if the JL 500/1v2 amp supports a differential-balanced signal?

 

Yes. As far as I know, all JL amps support differential-balanced signals.

 

Thanks!

I'm a major newbie when it comes to anything audio. I've always had a stereo store install for me.. but I figure I'd try my hand at installing myself. I hope I don't ruin anything, haha.

I ended up choosing an IDQ 10" Sub, Zenclosure ( I couldn't for the life of me find a 4080 ), Acousta-stuf for the enclosure,and JL 500/1v2 amp

 

Yeah, the 4080s aren't made anymore, so you need to watch the classifieds here and get lucky.

 

This may be a dumb question, Can I connect a 12" sub woofer to the little amp that runs the factory sub on a Bose system? I really would rather not add an additional amp if I don't have too.

 

No. It's output is far below the minimum of any decent 12" sub. It outputs *maybe* 20w RMS to the sub channel.

 

Any chance you have a video of it?
