There has to be someone, lol. I've been trying to hook up my amp by bypassing the Bose sub amp but I'm getting no signal. It's driving me nuts If I tap into the signal after it leaves the sub amp, I get signal. But if I do it before it enters the amp, nothing.

 

It's a low-level, differential-balanced signal before the amp, so if you're looking for speaker-level, unbalanced, it's only going to show up after the amp./

 

Edit.
I was thinking power wire.

 

I'm using 4 gauge wire to power my aftermarket amp and it runs fine (not in Protect mode, etc).

I'm talking about the OEM sub amp that's under the 8" Bose sub. There's a 5 wire connector that runs to it from the main Bose amp.

That signal I can't splice? Only other thing I can think of would be to splice into the rear speaker wires... But I don't understand why that might work, but not splicing into the woofer.

 

Wrathernaut answered your question..
I think that I just ran my RCA and Remote wire from the deck.

 

Are you using a high-low converter? That's what I was using to try to splice into the signal (sorry, forgot to mention that).

 

No, I have an aftermarket DD. Are you trying to use the stock Bose deck?

 

Yeah, still the stock deck. I know you need to use a high-low converter for that... Just trying to find a signal to splice into for my inputs on my aftermarket amp that actually works, lol.

 

Try the audio forum you might have more luck over there. I know there are a few knowledgeable people that have helped me out in the past when I was bypassing the Bose in my car.

 

It seems no one there has an 03. They changed the wiring in the 04+ and I'm thinking that has something to do with it, but I'm not entirely sure.

 

i got an 03 sedan with an aftermarket amp and a 15" sub. when you hooked your amp to the wires before the amp are you talking about the main amp or the mini amp thats on the back of your sub itself

 

Mini-amp on the back of the sub. It would not produce sound using the white and black wires that connect to it though. I had to use the dual green and red ones under the sub in the back. However, the mini-amp would sometimes cut out, which would also cut out my 12" subs which is why I wanted to re-wire it not going through the mini-amp.

What wires did you splice into?
