Never fear, Jedi is here!
you will need an LOC and you want to tap the rear speakers for your sub connections.
here is my setup: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-interior-audio-electronics-24/jedis-bose-stereo-upgrade-103771/

If you're cheap, you can just cut into the signal before it goes into the Bose amp in your trunk like I did. Use little wire splices, and the color code in the other thread:

Works fine going right into my amp's RCA inputs. I used the pink wire as my power on trigger. No problems so far!

nope, not with those speakers.
you COULD just replace the rears with something like the Infinity's I used. they should have a little more low end power then the bose.
You could also get one of those 'bazooka tubes'

O ok cause my friends srt4 has a Bose I think they made a couple hundred with Bose and his Bose has more bass than mine =[ we were trying to figure out why cause he has the same speakers so we thought there was another way to beef it up.

not all bose are created equal. My buddy has a nissan altima with bose and his sounded better.
(which is why I ripped mine out and threw it in the trash)
P.S. got your PM. It was made by a buddy of mine years ago.

it's not so much that all speakers aren't created equal, which they can differ... but mainly the difference in the quality that you hear is the acoustics of the car, every car will sound different with the same speakers.

I have 2 10" JL Audio W0 along with a 600 watt Koiiler amp installed with the bose system. You can buy that harness pretty much at any local electronic store that sells car audio. BTW, when you hook into the system you might need to install a toggle switch to manually turn the amp/subs on and off. The Bose system tends to give the amp/subs power first before the speakers which causes a nice loud hummmmm...

i have a kicker L7 10in with a 600watt alpine amp. what i used to get everything together(and sounding the best it can) is a processor. u can tune everything with it, it about the size of a small amp. it a lil expensive on install cuz it takes a few hours to dial it all in but well worth it.
