Adding Sub Amp to 99 vette Factory Bose system
Hello All.. After a long search I finally found the vette I was looking for.. Looking thru countless posts helped me with important decisions and the knowledge here is so helpful.
I have been reading countless posts on how to add a pre amp output without the OEAM-VET1 plug and play module as its no longer available.
If I understand correctly, I can splice into the LF and RF speaker wires coming out of the head unit, and attach a pre amp like a pac SNI-35
I have a couple more questions for anyone who has had to do the same
Thanks so much

You have to tap into the sub signal wires at the back of the radio.

and go with something like the audio control LC2i.

Thanks Vince C5....There are 2 plugs on the back of the factory head unit... Which plug would i use?.. If the tan/blk wire is positive from the L Front speaker, which wire would be the negative?

Hi Again,
I had the opportunity to go thru both links you sent me. Each link has a wiring diagram but they are different
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1572701744
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1592945984
Why is that, and which one to use?
Thanks

Thank you also for all your help Vince..
