Where did you get your signal from. I'm pretty positive I've got a game plan, I just want to ask one more time to see what people did.

Default I did that and....
it sounds like crap. I was told the amplified Bose signal introduces all kinds of EQ and distrotion to teh signal.

Default i originally took the line-level signal (pre-amp) but got alternator noise. I did NOT try a ground-
loop isolator though.

Default Check this link...
I just did a search for the words 'bose basslink' and read through some very interesting posts of people who have installed the Basslink in conjunction with their stock Bose systems. This link seems the most promising WJM nad Mark P. are around and can probably answer questions.

Default Info here:
I'm currently using a line level converter off the speaker level signal. I used the line level signal for a while but i had ground problems and noise so I ended up going back the line level converter.
