What exactly are you looking for? New speakers, head unit?

For your sake I hope this isn't true, but a car audio worker at Circuit City has told me that in most Bose systems, you have to rewire everything due to the original "Bose-exclusive wiring." Granted, he may be full of [you know what] but the system that he suggested for the replacement of a Mazda Millenia's Bose system cost a pricey $750 including installation. Not to mention that this system that was replacing the blown Bose system wasn't even Top-of-the-line... :eek:

Not at all true, I was told the same thing many many times. All it takes is some perserverance (sp?)

I know many people on here have added subs w/ the stock bose system. Just wait for someone to respond.

Sure...to add it to a new amp all you would have to do is splice into the speaker lines and put them to an amp high-level input to get a signal to the sub.

Well there ya go..
On my car, the shop that wired the sub amp up used RCA wire that actually spliced into the high-level speaker wire. Doesn't sound that bad either. Seems like you could use that if you get an amp w/ only RCA inputs.
