Need Some Direction
i am new to this forum only about a month and i didnt even realize that there was a section on audio. thank goodness! i have been asking for some help on the tech page and i felt like a ghost. i want to put an amp and a woofer on my stock bose system. could someone tell me how? can i plug it in the factory harness? can i power the whole system or just a woofer? can the stock bose speakers handle outside power? any help and suggestion would be greatly appreciated! thanks

welcome to the forums. we first need to know what kind of car you have (which generation) and then we'd probably point you to the faq stickies at the top of the audio sub forum. what you want to do is doable...the ease of installation and integration depends on what gen you have.
