Hooking up a sub & amp to the stock Bose while I wait for my new gear

There are two Molex’s attached to the Amp. The passenger side (Right Side) contains the outputs from the sub amp. The output is crossed over at 85Hrtz. This is your only option for grabbing lineout frequencies for your sub amp as the factory deck sends a very low voltage high impedance signal to the amplifier that also functions as an electronic crossover. You will need to get a hi/low converter and an amplifier that can take hi voltage in. This is you’re the best option I know of. I tried it and lived with it for a while before I redid the entire system.

Good Luck.

I use this same interface on my H2, I have the factory Navi with stock bose system with 1 12" sub in a sealed box running off an Alpine amp. For simply piggybacking the factory system it sounds pretty amazing and I have had quite a few people shocked that its still the factory system with one 12" woofer. I also run the Nucleus ipod adaptor which displays the song title and artist on the factory navi screen. For the overall investment it sounds fantastic and with the ipod adaptor I have most of the functions of a high end navi aftermarket unit.
