Which brand name stereo adapter really works for aftermarket deck?

Ok, i've done the search and there's a couple of threads that say there's an adapter for running anaftermarket deck to the stock bose system. I talked to one of the stereo installers and he said that they were running a rocksford fosgate adapter that he's done on a few bose systems. But he said customers have came back and bitched about some weird noises coming out of the speakers. Now my question is: Which brand name adapter is the best to use on these bose systems. That won't cause these annoying static noises that he claims have happened to other customers. If you guys with FD's have done this with an adapter that really works with our cheesy bose system could you help me out? Thanks.

I think crutchfield sells an adapter for the bose system. I'm in the process of changing my deck out too. I haven't bought one yet. But I'm planning on ordering a deck and an adaptor from them. www.crutchfield.com

Theres a search page also on crutchfield that you can look up what will fit your car, and at the end of the search it even recommend us FD owners with bose systems to order the adaptor. just my .02 cent

i did the same to my 90 300 zx factory bose system. the adapter i had to use was made by soundgate. not cheap but very effective and way better sound quality than a passive adapter

888 760 4707

i just did a google search for "soundgate" and it produces alot of examples of their products didnt really try to find the bose thing but heres an example of what im talking about

The SCOCHE from crutchfield is working perfectly for me for allmost two years, and is cheap also easy to connect to.

I forgot to mention that the sound quality is just as original and perfect as before, not to mention that the new head unit I installed is much more sofisticated and has more ability to adjust the sound, so you will get more quality music...
