Default Paging 99HT - Amp Install
Can you tell me which wires do I need to tap into to install an amp. Is it C4(11) and C4(12)??? And which wire do I use for power.

Thanks!!!

Everything is in my post. NEVER tap the HU power to feed an external power amp. Get your power from the fuse block for a small amp or from the battery for a large amp.

Bose head unit 4 channel pre-amp outputs

LF out C4(9) TAN/BLK
RF out C4(10) LT GRN/BLK
LR out C4(11) BRN
RR out C4(12) DK BLU
Shield C4(14) Bare wire


Switched 12v to turn on power amp, connect 1 amp fuse in line.

Radio "ON" C1(8) DK GRN

Thanks 99HT!!!!

I will get power from the battery. To turn on the amp, do I connect it to the Radio "ON" C1(8) DK GRN??? Just want to make sure I understand correctly.

99Ht,

I am guessing that C4(9), C4(10), C4(11), and C4(12) should go to the middle pin of each pre-amp RCA cord into the external amp. The Shield C4 wire should be split into 4 wires and used as the outside metal ring on each pre-amp RCA cord?

Use this signal to control the power amp. Connect it, via a 1 amp fuse, to the amp remote input.

Buy some long RCA-RCA shielded cables and cut one end off. Solder all the shields together and then connect a short piece of wire from this bundlle to the HU shield wire. The center conductor off each cable will connect to the pre-amp outputs you want to connect to.

I think you and I may be saying the same basic thing. The shield wire in the RCA cords is the wire that goes to the outside metal ring conductor on the RCA cord? If the shield wire in the patch cord is not the wire going to the outside conductor of the PCA patch cord, what goes to the outside conductor of the cord?

Thank you MAGRED2, rbartick, and 99HT. I have a good understanding of what I have to do to connect my amp to my stock HU in the 2001 coupe before I even pull it out.
Soon my car will rock! :smash: :lol: :seeya
