Default C4 has Amp+Sub+Box= Advice needed

I recently purchased one of the stealth boxes that goes behind the passenger compartment as well as, an amp and 10in. sub. For those that do your own installs, where should I start? Where are the RCA's or do I need an adapter prior to install? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I am using the stock Bose head unit. Thanks, Chris

To use the stock BLOSE im pretty sure your gonna need an adapter. Not 100% on that so dont quote me. Best place to start would probally be wiring the amp, have you ever done an install before?

I figured that I would need some sort of adapter as well. And yes, I've installed about 4 complete systems similar to this one, but this would be a first attempt on a corvette. Thanks for the heads up.....chris

Yeah, Im pretty sure that you need a line level converter to work that external amp with a Bose system.

I would check with Soundgate (www.soundgate.com) to see what they have/recommend.

Corvettes arent all that different, except that the reciver box is seperate from the in dash unit. Good luck, and dont hesitate to ask.
