@markcz - Thanks I realized what a dumb question that was, when I reviewed the schematics....
Thus far I had only tapped at the bose for line level addition of a sub, so I didnt realize there were signals coming out of the amp in the same harness, I successfully tapped the left door speaker Light Blue, Dark Blue, wires...The relay works well and everything is fine BUT I do have two concerns
When I try and split the signal coming from the bluetooth kit I keep getting distortion, either I am tapping the wrong wires for the Right low range (schematics say orange and dark green on the A -row of C2 (i have premium so I am readed U65) or I am not splitting the wires correctly to travel from one speaker to two speakers... IDK SMH
Lastly, when I turn off the car, the unit makes a drainage of power sound coming out of my left mid range speaker, which I have successfully tapped into for phone calls. Is there anything I can do to avoid this power drainage noise? It sounds like air being let out of a balloon (an electric balloon)...
Thanks

A-11 & A-12 are the speaker wires you need for the RF speaker, sounds like you used the right ones. If you're getting strange noises with everything hooked up the way it is, without knowing exactly what you're doing it's hard to help. I can say that you can probably eliminate the noises if you split the oem system from the add-ons with a relay. If the BT device has an output wire that energizes when it's active (like the mute wire maybe, preferably 12v) you can use that signal to swap a DPDT relay. You would have to cut the wires going to the speaker, attach the amp side of the cut wires to the two NC contacts, the speaker side to the common contacts, and the BT sound output to the NO contacts. Then attach the relay coil to the BT device switched power wire.... Radio will play when BT is off, but when BT is on it will swap the relay so only the BT sound goes through the speaker, that will separate the circuits and everything SHOULD be happy.
I have no idea what's going on with the electric baloon on the left
