Bose stereo question
Sorry to keep asking so many questions, but this is my first corvette.
I'm looking for some info. My car has the factory bose system. The previous owner replaced the head unit with a single din kenwood unit. My plan is to replace it with a double din unit. I was digging through the car checking other things and I saw a speaker wire headed to the back of the car. I followed it and pulled the rear panel off. The po replaced the rear speakers with kicker ones and ran wires to them directly from the head unit. The front speakers in the doors are still the factory bose ones. I also bought the appropriate module to retain the bose system for an aftermarket head unit.
So my question is this. How do I go about wiring in the new stereo? Would I run the rear speakers to the new deck directly, as they currently are, and then run the fronts through the harness? Currently the only front speakers that are operating are the mids, there is nothing coming from the subwoofers in the door. I haven't pulled the old radio out yet to see what the po has going on back there. This is on a 2005 base. Thanks in advance

If the front's are stock and non-bose the big door speakers should be working if the small ones are.
What interface adapter model did you get?
Without any more info than you have in op, I would connect HU to interface adapter via RCA's. Then if big speakers in doors weren't working I'd just run new wire from HU front speaker wires to them.
This is for non-bose, if it's bose door subs that aren't working I'd fix the issue with them.
