Default Idiots at the Stereo store...
I went to a local car stereo store. I showed them my Vette, and asked what I needed to do for me to keep the bose speakers working. I figured I would need some sort of special adapter or something. The guys hands me the same adapter that they use for EVERYYYY gm vehicle. Im doubting highly its going to work.

that standard gm adatper will just play your speakers and not the subs in the doors. You will lose bass with the standard gm adapter.
