Default Isn't this easier?

Okay, one question and one short cut.

Question. Could you please provide wire colors for factory amp out woofers (left and right)?

Shortcut. Instead of running a remote wire all the way from fuse box, isn't easier to use a PAC that has a remote wire. (ex.http://www.pac-audio.com/PACProductD...s_020909.pdf)?

Thanks

Also from what I am understanding, you are combining left and right channels on the LOC together allowing you to tap into one 2 (1 + and 1 -) instead of 4 speaker wires meaning if you change balance on the head unit from left to right or vise versa, your sub sound will go off (depending on which side speakers you tapped)
Another thing, by tapping simply into speak wires, you get very crappy sound quality compared if you were to tap onto "amp out to woofer, if I am not mistaken pins 5, 15,16 and 17)

Thanks

You are 100% correct about many things but our main problem is the question you asked. No one can come up with a Wire diagram. I am in the process of re-wiring soon because i've noticed when I go into the DSP Bose, and change from NORMAL TO DRIVER My Bass hits like a freaking monster and makes about 50-60% more power. I have been requesting a wire diagram from Bose but there no help.

After long research and looking around I found for OnDemand and ELSA being the best software. OnDemand gave me wiring diagrams.

I wrote a thread about three weeks ago on how to connect/tap to factory amp (LOW Outputs) and make everything works. Works like a charm for me. Here is the thread:

My speaker box DIY you already saw so I am not gonna go into that lol

PM me if any questions.

just took a look at the thread, Nice info. Pics would have been awesome! Can you point out the color of the wires that you have labeled as PIN, 5,15,16,17. Also did you figure out which wire is the remote turn on?

The pac looks nice but I am going to be keeping my LOC, and just wire everything individually instead of combining ++/--

You can try to get a "remote" signal from your HI / LO converter? The objectives of the blue comes through. Its suppose to send a "remote" signal to your amp, it becomes hi signal of speaker wire.

I don't really remember the colors but as I remember, wires out of pins 5 and 15 will be somewhat the same. What I mean 5 and 15 will have more color in common vs. 16 and 17. We"ll say 5 will be "brown" with yellow line and "15" will be just "brown. Where 16 will be "gray" and 17 "gray" with White line. Don't remember exact cloring though and really don't want to disassemble everything again lol

I did not bother looking for remote wire as my LOC had it. If your LOC doesn't have one, I would recommend running a wire from fuse box.
