The signal from the Bose HU to the Bose amp is NOT High Voltage, it's low voltage balanced preamp level.

If your amp can take balanced in, then you can go straight in.

What amp do you have?

I have Infinity ref 7541A. I am going to eliminate BOSE amp. Infinity amp has two types of inputs. To which input I should connect BOSE HU High or LOW?

It depends if it takes balanced inputs. I could not find whether it does or does not on any information. You could call JL and ask them.

If you are partial to JL, look at the "slash" series amps. They works very well in our cars when working in an oem integration scenario (keeping stock HU).

Stock HU ---- (stock output wires that used to go to the Bose stock AMP) ----> [trunk] ---->JL 500/5 (input jacks)

JL 500/5 (output jacks) ---- (stock wires going to speakers) ----> speakers

I assume you really do mean Infinity and not Infiniti

Buy a LOC that accepts balanced-differential inputs. Connect the output wires from the Bose HU to the input terminals on the LOC. Connect the output of the LOC to your amp. Connect speakers to amp. You're done.

This has been covered many times in the forum.

That's because two parts of your question are insane and the second part has been answered before

Insane parts: using the power wire and ground wire for an aftermarket amp. NO. no no no no no. No further questions your honor.

Answered part: Yes, you can use the light blue wire as a remote wire for an aftermarket amp. I probably would not use it for more than one amp. If you wanted to use this wire for more than one amp, I'd use a relay.
