Default hooking subs up / Ipod adaptor for stock GM ss radio?

Anyone know were i can get an ipod adaptor and adaptor to put aftermarket subwoofers on the stock radio unit in my SS?

I plan on getting an LCD unit at the end of the summer but for now i wanna hook the subs i have into the bose system.

Ive searched around but can't find much, would appreciate the help.

For hooking the subs and and amp up to the stock head unit try PAC's AOEMGM24 interface. Its plugs into the back of your radio with a little bit of wire splicing, if you have a bit of stereo install knowledge it should be fairly easy! It is not an exact fit (at least not for my GXP, but it is easy to make it work. Follow this link for the interface:

As for the iPod adaptor, I'm not sure if you can do both the PAC and the iPod at the same time. Some others might know better than I do, but here is a link you should check out:

Hope this stuff helps you out!

You can get a cheap line output converter for alot less than that and just tap signal from your rear deck speakers, that's how I had my sub hooked up before swapping out the stock HU for a double DIN touchscreen unit. However, if you're eventually going to be getting a double DIN unit, which will most likely be able to directly control your ipod, I wouldn't even bother with the ipod adapter and just make due using the aux input for now.

The Amp is just for the 2 12" DVC's in the trunk, but I also have 2 pairs of Kicker KS13's that I need to have installed to spruce up the high end, and she'll be perfect.

I have one JL Audio 12" with the stock Bose system. Sounds good enough for me since I'm no audiophile. Obviously an improvement once I ditched the stock headunit for something new.
