holy crap - don't be so fast to dump your touring bose system
Uh so if anybody read my previous thread, I decided to wire the preamp outs of my new headunit to the preamp ins of the stock touring bose amplifiers. However I figured out that the head unit puts out 1.8V on those lines when the bose amps take 5.5V max. Levels were way too low.
So I gave in and used the converter crutchfield sent me to bring the amplified line-outs to high power preamp levels. Since it's level-tunable, I played around a bit and - oh my god. Those bose acoustic wave deals in the back can put out serious damned bass when you drive them harder. The stock bose head unit just blows.
I was considering getting new speakers, but ****.. now I'm happy.
By the way - the new Kenwood MP8017 cd/mp3 player is available (unadvertised) from crutchfield for $350. It's damn cool.
