Default Sub Wiring

I was hoping someone could tell me where to tap into wires to run my amp. I need a switched 12V REM for the amp and also information on what wires I can tap at the sub for the high to low convertor (if thats possible).

I have the Bose system and was hoping to tap in off the spare tire sub (again if possible). Any help would be great!

Thanks !

Is the Bosed headunit remaining?

So you want to power a new amp and sub? I wouldn't advice tapping any power or remote turn-ons from existing wiring. The stock wiring is so tiny, it may not even be enough for your amp. I would run new power wiring from the battery and the turn-on from the fuse box. Just my opinion. As for sub speaker wires going to your converter, you should be able to tap those anywhere you want AFTER the Bose amp. So if you want to tap in around the Bose sub wiring connector, should be fine.

I am of course running new power form the battery, sorry I should have been more clear. . What I was looking for is a good place to tap in for the high low converter and a good place to tap in for the Amp remote line (a switched 12v REM so it turns off with the car). I was hoping to avoid pulliung the dash apart assuming maybe the stock sub has a switched 12v rem line, AND a place to tap the high low converter. And yes bose headunit is remaining ... for now.

According to the service manual, there are two pairs of wire for the "woofer amp. ON signal" and the "OFF signal". Input: (+) is 31 (white) (-) ground. Output: (+) 25 (green) (-) ground.

I would just run a turn-on wire to your fusebox underneath the driver side dash. Much easier and that's what I did for the amp. My amp had power and turn-on for a 2nd device or amp. So my converter is connected to my amp.

Yeah I think that’s what I have decided to do. Thanks for the information, I appreciate your help!
