Default Bose to Monoamp Hookup Question

I bought a monoamp to drive a subwoofer in my 2002 C5. Can anyone tell me exactly how to connect the monoamp to the Bose HU? I assume there in no subwoofer out on the stock Bose HU, so where do I pick up the input signal to the monoamp?

You need a line-out converter.It runs off the wire lead to you rear speakers..(or whatever is closest)..It is the cheap way of doing it IMO.They do make a interface for the BOSE.Local stereo shops should have both.

I wouldn't do either.The soudn quality will suffer for sure.You neede to go to an aftermarket HU.

Tech Tips didn't help. Anyone else please? Someone must have done this. I don't want to change the HU, I just want to add the subwoofer.
