but what i'm saying is you can't run two amplifiers at a speaker. if the Bose speaker already has an amp on it and the deck has one too that might be why the system ain't working right.
Technically you do this every time you run a high level input to an amplifier. The speaker outputs can be run to an amp's hi level ins, which is then amplified further. I know what you're trying to say though. If you are using Bose speakers with an aftermarket amp and have bypassed the original speaker amps, the 1 ohm impedence would likely fry the amp. But since a Bose system doesn't exist in the car, check for proper grounding or even places where the speaker wires could have been chafed or squashed. The power could be unintentionally grounded through the speaker wires drawing way too much power, but then again, inline fuses on the power wire and fuses on the amp should have blown before it started smoking.

As for the head unit, check those wires I mentioned before and make sure they are the correct ones. A mix up of wires could be the problem, and very likely at that.
