Default amp wiring

OK I've searched and searched I have a jbl 1200.1 that I'm wanting to wire into my stock radio. I took the rear wires by the Bose amp tan/orange and tan/white. But when I turn the radio on all I'm getting is voice. No bump. Did I take the wires after the amp. If so which colors are the ones I need to look for. The jbl has the hi level inputs. Someone help a fellow amber out.

Just tap the wires going to the stock sub and use them for the hi level inputs. Easy as it can get. Throw away that stock bose sub while you're at it for some cabin venting.

personally I got better bass volume and response with the bose sub put back in. With the hole in the rear deck and my rear firing sub I was getting cancellation with two areas for the bass to enter the cabin. This way I also have the bose sub to fill in some bass when I don't have the key in the IGN setting for when I'm sitting in car washes, etc. where I just put it to ACC.

I also have a bp1200.1 and I use a LOC. I think you'll be much happier running a level controller up front and you'll need a LOC to do that as the 1200.1 amp has no remote bass capability built into it.

i used the sub wires. set the setting so when i adjust the bass all the way down on the radio its barely there. But when I crank up the bass and volume it gets pretty loud. just need to clean everything up. make it look nice and neat.
