Adding an amp to Bose system

michigan2500hd · April 18, 2006

Wondering if any here could tell me which PAC interface i need to add an amp to my Bose system. I already have an amp and sub hooked to the system but the interface i was sold coverts a high level signal to a RCA style cable. As in i had to tap into the rear door speaker wire. Is this a good way to do this or is there a better way? Thinking about trying the interface that installs under the cup holders in the center counsel. I have a 05 crew cab LT with Bose and On-Star. 1/2 ton,4x4.

I went to two different car audio places and they were not sure which one i needed or were just plain stupid. I prefer to know what i need before i walk into a store and let someone behind the counter tell me what to buy, thanks.

I thought they new Bose setups included a subwoofer?

In my car I tapped into the Bose amp at the line level outs. Keep in mind that if you tap into the rear speakers you will need a line level converter.

Maybe someone here could tell you were the bose AMp is at, and just tap in there, or maybe you already have one and don't know it. Bose... All high's no lows must be a bose.

Good luck

PAC adapter AOEM-GM24 is the one you're looking for. I just ordered one for myself. If you look back a ways there are a few posts talking about it. One even has a link to the silveradoss.com forum with pictures I think. Got a good start on my box last weekend and will be needing this soon, can't wait! The Bose just doesn't have enough bump for me either!

Thanks, think i will order it this week. Yeah they dont have enough low end thump. I have a Kenwood 800 watt and a Sony 12" sub. Neither were my first choice but its what i had in the garage so i decided to try them. It sounds pretty good with them, i just figure a better line converter might make it better. I made a custom box for my ext. cab but when i got my crew cab it wouldnt fit under the back seat. For now i just have it sitting on the floor behind the drivers seat but i do want to buy or make a box that will go under the back seat. Or even behind it, but that means buying 2- 10" subs so it might wait awhile.

The crew is a tight fit to say the least. If you put anything under the rear seat, you won't be able to fold it down for large items. The seat back almost touches the floor when flipped forward. I'm making mine to go behind the seat, between the jack and the driver plastic bulge thing. Only have to remove the lug wrench and relocate. Two 8" Kicker Solo-barics, old round style, and an old A300 Precision Power amp. Those little things kick like you wont believe. People always thought they were a 10" sub. Keep us posted on your progress too!
