If it is, I need to tap into it.
BTW - I agree with the comments about Bose - they are way over-rated (home audio too)...

ok, here are the wiring diagrams from 03-04 Service Manual for BASE (non-BOSE) model. Doesn't look like it is pre-wired for Sub addition...

Looks like it is wired just for fronts and rears...
hope this helps...

But, when I get back to my HD @ work tomorrow morning, I will check the wiring diagram for the non-Premium system in the Service Manual and see if there are wires for the rear shelf. I doubt it though.......
I'll let you know tomorrow....

I really like Scan Speak Revelator mids. The Zapco CK components are great as well. Might want to consider doing some kick panels. Or, use a shallow mount subwoofer in the trunk (or even something that requires minimal air space, like a Soundsplinter RL-i), or put a subwoofer where the sub from the Bose sub goes in the rear deck.

If you really, truly believe that Bose audio is the peak of stock stereo systems then you really must test drive a BMW, Audi, Mercedes or Jag. Most will have B&O, HK, Infiniti or some other reputable sound manufacturer that isn't strictly an advertising company (BOSE!). I actually think the stereo in the new Hyundai Genesis coupe "premium" is pretty good and light years ahead of any Bose audio I've heard.
Always remember: "No highs? No lows? Must be Bose" (Blows works too).
