-Tap (4) L/R line-in lines before bose amp
- Connect tapped lines to LOC
- Connect RCA lines from LOC to sub amp
- Connect sub amp to subwoofer


Can a simpler passive LOC like THIS be used?


Edit - Some more reading and I get the idea that I want to use a LC2i and connect it using the sky blue and violet lines (9&14) coming out of the bose amp instead of the lines going into the amp. Correct?

Confused - Now I'm reading that it is better to use the red and green lines (hi-level) from the bose sub amp to the bose sub, it will provide a better feed than the blue and violet lines (low level).
Your original idea should work. I would splice the signal lines into the amp, that way you are tapping the signal from the head unit before the bose components come into play with their weird ohmage.
