C5 w/ Bose Symphony LOC hook up

I have a 2001 C5 with Bose Symphony. I want to connect a line out convertor for an additional amplifier. question is, can I use the four wires inside the stock sub enclosure to send signal to amp? if so what color wires are each CH/ +/- . reason asking I pulled them out and forgot what went where. Blue/yellow, blue/green, black, white. thanks everyone.

Thank You

Thank you for that, I am not working with the amp as of right now, my question summed up, Will the wires from my stock Bose Sub Enclosure (2 4" Mid-Bass woofers on the passenger side trunk) supply proper signal to connect a line out converter?

resources tell

I have read many discussion forums that give me step by step instruction on how to do this after disassembling a lot of panels and what not. They are very accurate on the procedure. In my situation I have the stock subwoofers wires coming out of the factory box, when hooking up a speaker while the radio is on, they play. This tells me I can connect my LOC to them, converting it to a lower level that my aftermarket amplifier accepts. Only problem I am having is polarity and initial hook up. I have it connected now, but my speakers are hitting opposite. Note that all of my other connections are 100% correct, except for maybe the input from the stock Bose system?

I do know for a fact if you STF (search the forums) or re-visit the Resources tab at the top of the page you will find links with in those posts.

Stoney has a great link here with some good info http://sonolithics.com/files/a6_links.html

Update

I did away with the LOC and hooked directly to the Line Out off from the Bose Harness, after that when I powered everything back up, the sub woofers have some type of interference, they suddenly start popping....? I used the Green, White, and Brown (smaller wires) at the harness connected to the amplifier on the bass box? Green and White where my + and brown being the ground, I spliced my RCA's soldered the both bare wires from the RCA's to the Brown wire, and the Right RCA Lead to the White wire, and the Left RCA Lead to the Green wire? As soon as I turn key, the sub woofers start popping? Am i missing something?
