Forgive me for not understanding the details of car audio, but do you also have to have a amplifier installed in the car somewhere to drive the sub, or is there a sub output on the back of the stock Nav/Audio unit? Thanks.

I added an Alpine amp to drive the sub and tapped off the stock sub, through a line output converter (Audio Control LC2i). It's a bit of work to install it all but it was worth it. I would like to replace all the stock speakers some day but for now this was a good compromise to "wake up" the stock Bose system and still retain my Nav etc.
Also as a side note, I use an ipod loaded with uncompressed CD rips for a source. It seems the Bose only gets worse with SQ from other sources. The music box hard drive was a big disappointment in my opinion, with compression down to 192 kps not helping. |
