I know I know another BOSE ?....but
Hey guys i know this topic ahs been KILLED to death on the forum but i need some help. I am a total newbie to audio equipment ect. I can install HUs but when it comes to speakers im a no go. Basically heres my situation
- Bought Infinity Kappa 52.5is to replace the bose door speakers
-Have a new Panasonic HU to replace the Stock
-Want to keep the existing Center Speaker and Bose Snake
I have tried looking at the bose diagram but thats another language to me it seems
I have PM some of you about this but would like to open it for all who might have some imput.
Basically i would like to use the Bose enclosures(after i mod them to fit the speakers) but am having a hard time with the wiring. Would i need the adapter if im going new speakers and HU but same Bose rear? Do I need to rewire both the door speakers? The wire that go to the door speakers are:
*purple
*yellow
*black
*orange
those in turn go to the Bose speaker amps and then from there the speaker wires come out (Red and Light Green)
If anyone can shed some light on this i would be FOREVER grateful. TIA guys

You'll have to get an adapter. I had my Eclipse HU installed and they used a standard Bose Conversion wiring adapter. Be sure that power is given to the green and black wire to turn on your factory amps. Other than that, (as I said in my PM) you'll have to bypass the door speaker amplifiers if you are going to use the existing wiring.
