Bose help

I know you guys are probably going to yell at me cause you think I'm a troll or what ever, even though IDK what that is. I come from computerforums.org forums and I guess we do things differently there, we answer peoples questions.

But heres my question, and yes I searched for it all over because I didn't want to ask it here, knowing I will get flamed.

Does the Bose head unit have a sub out? If I wanted to hook up an amp and sub.

Thank you.

The cheapest way to connect to a sub to the Bose stereo is to use a line output converter and tap the rear speaker level outputs, then connect your amps + sub to it. There are no pre-amp level outputs in the system.

what he said. Not only is that the cheapest, it is also the easiest short of ripping your dash apart.

So here's my PB, which looks a lot like your WB. Hard to tell from a photo.

Actually I believe you can tap the low level lines going into the Bose amp in the trunk. I saw something about it in another section and I remember some one had it setup like that with out any issues last I checked. I'll edit this post with a link to that post once I find the post.

That's like someone teaching you to say "I'm stupid" in another language and you go around repeating it to people who speak that language

I have a line out converter, works great but it can be irratating setting the bass levels. I usually keep the gain about 80% up and -6 on the stock unit is still a hella lot of bass, haha. Line out is the best way to go IMO

The output from the head unit to the Bose amp in the rear of the car is a SPEAKER LEVEL, DIFFERENTIAL signal. Do not attempt to connect an amp to it without a LOC. Amplifer or head unit death will occur otherwise.
