Default Adding powered sub to Bose?

I'm posting here because few people read the audio section below.
Has anybody installed a powered sub in a late model C4?
I'd like to wire from the Bose reciever unit located in the rear storage, if possible.

Thanks!

I installed a powered sub in the rear a few years ago. I tapped in to the rear deck speakers for the audio signal. I have a non Bose system though.

I did as well with the Bose system. Used a PAC convertor to feed the amp signal and power antenna lead to turn on the amp. I also have a remote bass volume control to vary the sub level on the fly which does seem to vary from song types. I bought a box from member deaggie (sp). I know he has made a few others as well.

Nice. Where did you stash the amp? Did you relocate the factory receiver to fit the sub?

The amp is behind the passenger seatback. I do remember moving some things around in the sub area, but nothing too much. The main thing was removing the jack.
