How I wired in the MTX Re-Q: Being the Bose amp wiring harness travels right past the Re-Q location I simply tapped the speaker part of the wire harness going to the Bose amp. I used the Bose amp wire diagram on this forum, referenced the wire numbers to the appropriate pair of speaker wires(colors did not match exactly) cut the wires and tapped into those speaker leads that I needed. The appropriate pairs are twisted together. How I identified which wires were correct was looking at the Bose sub and the Amp plug I was able to identify which were the sub wires by color and then referenced the left and right rears from that. I tapped off the rear speakers as they are the only speakers receiving full range output from the Bose, I think the crossover for the fronts is in the amp.

Speaking with the tech's at MTX about the Re-Q they told me it was not necessary to dissconnect the speakers you are tapping, only recommended to remove the factory sub if your using an aftermarket setup like me. So the factory rears are still in play, the factory sub is gone in favor of the new dual 10" subs. The tech told me there would be no effect on the amp or the speakers and I can confirm that you do not need to dissconnect the speakers you are tapping off of to feed the signal to the Re-Q. The full range speaker taps are required so the Re-Q is capable of doing it's full restoration duties.

I also did not have to tap the ACC wire to the Bose amp as the Re-Q has smart engage where it turns on when it detects a speaker output from the Bose amp, this works exactly as stated in the Z. So the only wires I had to tap and cut were speaker wires which are very odvious as they are the only twisted pairs of wires in the harness, this install is an easy DIY
