Default Another Bose question...

I want to add some more bottom end to the factory system in my 05 Envoy with the Bose system. I know there are sound processors available to add external amps but I was looking at this, http://www.pac-audio.com/productDeta...&CategoryID=28
Is this the right part?

Yes that will work. But you can just get a basic LOC[line output converter] for cheaper that does the same basic thing.

no LOC for a bose system. You can get a clean line level output either at the radio or before the amp. you can splice an rca straight in but i recommend using a peripheral sven2 to isolate

That's what I figured. Where does the sven splice into?

I just registered there the other night but haven't had time to go through it too much. I think I'll pick up the sven2.

I found the sven2 on amazon for $19. I have two 12's I'm planning to put in for now but eventually want to get a nice dvc 10" so it takes up less room, plus I don't need huge amounts of bass, just working with what I have for now. I take it I'll need to splice this in?

Thanks, I'll see what I can do with it. If I'm doing 2ch I will only need the rear left and right correct? And will I use the radio on (pk) for the remote turn on? And this won't affect the rest of the system right? Sorry for all the questions, this is my first time tapping into a factory set-up!

rear or front dont matter

yes that will work as remote turn on, and no effect on rest of system

note on remote u will notice when u turn car off amp will stay on for about a minute after u shut car down, and will turn on as soon as u unlock the doors with the remote, this is because thats when the oem amp turns on so it can chime etc

Just an update, got everything wired up today and it sounds good. Wiring in the converter wasn't bad and I mounted it in the storage compartment in the side panel. Kinda sucks having a box in the back but it sounds good and I got it set up so it won't be too hard to pull out if need be. Thanks for the help!
