bass link
How do i hook up a Bass Link into a '07 C6Z with the original stereo/Nav?
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_108BASS...asslink&tp=114
I understand the power/ground.
Where do i get a speaker signal?
Do i use the rear speakers or front speakers?
Website states it has:
Inputs:
* Universal Interface: Front and rear, left and right Universal interface speaker-level inputs (for use with the supplied speaker-level input wiring harnesses)
* Line Level RCA Inputs: Front and rear, left and right female preamp level inputs
I am not sure this is going to work properly with the Bose System. Do i need an adapter for RCA? (which one?)

The low level bass signals are not present at the four normal twiddler speakers, tapping them won't work.
You can tap into the speaker level signal at one of the subs in the doors (not too entirely difficult), or remove the dash and radio to do this unless you want to just splice into the wires (not recommended).
FYI, the white wire on pin B3 of the main radio plug is what you need to splice into to get your trigger voltage, but if you get the speaker level bass signal from the sub in the door I can probably find it near the fuse box (or maybe even in the door) so you don't have to take apart the dash just for that.

This is what I did: http://www.lazyassgeek.com/c6-stereo...-unit-harness/ and it worked fine. I installed a Basslink in my 08 C6. There is no remote power on so you will have to install a seperate switch. I mounted the switch and the volume control remote in the center consul. PM for pics and more info. I had mine installed by a shop, but I can give you some help. Edit: I also used this: http://www.lazyassgeek.com/c6-stereo...-pac-add-gm24/ to get the low level output to the amp.

Look through the C6 Radio Schematics. Anywhere you see Circuit #1487 is a location that you can tap into RAP controlled (switched) +12vdc power from the stock radio. It's behind the radio, at the amp next to the fuse box, and in the doors.The OP just needs to make a choice. Take apart a door panel to use the speaker level inputs and tap the white switched wire going into the oem subs there, or take apart the dash to install a modified Add-GM24 and tap wire B3 of the main connector.
If you choose to take apart the doors, while you're in there consider replacing the 3.5" twiddlers to improve the highs while you're adding some thump
