On my way to succes!
in car audio that is.
UPDATE: SUBWOOFER and WIRING KIT just came in, AMP is on its way and for a LOC wondering if i got an adjustable one, what would settings be?
what is security token missing mean? i need to upload pics to see if its safe to run the power wire through this grommet, it goes through the fire wall okay, but it touches a pipe, and i think it might be either an ac or heater pipe

and the boston g5 is rated at 450 rms at 4ohms would http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entert...iers/KAC-9104D
would running at 500 rms give me any problems? or should i look for less power?
is this a good deal? http://cgi.ebay.com/KENWOOD-KAC-8104...3%3A1|294%3A50

i'm reverse mounting, the driver will be visible and the sub will be facing towards the rear.
like http://www.biline.ca/Pictures/basement/isobaric_sub.JPG
the g5 works best in a .5 ft ^3 sealed enclosure, if i seal the box already existing i have plenty.

This was best answered by Socket7 in a post earlier today...
the signal from the head unit itself is not a true speaker level signal. After the bose amp is. You may be able to make it work before the amp, but your gains will need to be much higher and you wont get as much bump, or sound quality.
For a complete system upgrade, sure, tap before the bose amp, that's the way I did it. For a bass upgrade though, tap after the amp. Otherwise you'll be feeding a much different signal to your sub then your other speakers, making it sound unbalanced. The Bose amp applies an EQ curve to the signal and you want that curve to be played by your sub so it will match the rest of the bose system.
In the case of a full system upgrade, you want to be able to apply your own EQ curve, and so tapping before the bose amp is preferable.
