Default Ok im about to get to do this..

Hey everyone im about to add a sub amp and replace the 3.5 with dif speakers. I want to make sure i have everthing the installer will need so i can hopefull get this done in one day.

So here is a list of things i think are needed to add the sub and amp to the factory nav.

GMAA2= Is this a plug and play or will the installer need to cut wires to hook this up??

Iwas told i need this part but im not sure for what?? Its a

peripheral line output converter 50w output

what is this for is it needed??

And for the 3.5 replacements all i need is the

gm dw 4568sh speaker wire

right??

Ok thanks for any help and info. Please tell me if i need anything else that i might have missd??Thanks to everyone that has been giving me info so far

No, No, No,- it's like the warning tag on a mattress, it's against the law to remove any Bose tags lest anyone think that they are not listening to a "premium" sound system.

if u dont wana cut any wires that is the way to go

otherwise pacadd24 harness can be used and u can put rca ends on to it, put the gmaa2 is a better way to to go IMO

if they are going to attempt to tap the rear speakers and use a lineout converter inform them they are waisting there time
