Bose AMP and GM RAP bypass

[asand]

Sorry, I just saw your post a week later. Have you already done this? I would cut the wires and splice, then just leave the plugs disconnected from the amp. When I later removed my center console I discovered a subwoofer in there. I dont know how you would wire that aside from running a small amp off the RCAs on your Kenwood HU.

Thanks for the wire references.

I have the same problem you had - feedback/hissing noise after installing Kenwood HU. I assume the Kenwood is overpowering the Bose Amp. I plan to do the exact same thing you did. I have my chime box installed from the aftermarket harness kit, and everything works as it should. Except for the static feedback noise coming through speakers.

My truck has the "dumb Bose amp" with 3 plugs (truck did NOT have and DVD or NAV from factory). I understand the "LUX Bose version" has 4 plugs.


Theoretically I should just cut & direct wire the connections you listed on my Bose amp and I should be good to go right?

I was going to go off this video until I found your post -

Thanks! Just trying to go in with a plan to eliminate head scratching.
