Has anyone hooked up subs to stock bose system??

[Hopeless Regret]

I wanted to put some aftermarket subs in my 04 mazda 6 with bose. The factory sub just isnt doing much. Just looking for some opinions if anyone has done before. thanks!

Bose are normally good.... no..... great speakers, you should have no problems at all. For maximum guarantee get a deck that has an hpf mod, makes a hell of a difference with any speakers/sub system

Thanks man, so I'm going to use a line out converter and splice in factory headunit..what you think?

If you know what your doing, i thinks its a good idea

 

[Hopeless Regret]

Yea man It should come out pretty good

the only problem with subs in Mazda cars, at least with my own exp., is the amount of rattle. I had to strip off my spoiler (then bondo and paint holes), hunt down airflaps and tear em off, and dyno the doors

oh really? mine is the hatch style so i didnt think it would rattle much, so how did you have your subs hooked up? aftermarket radio?

I play a new apline deck, 4 115w polk hardpoly speakers, 2kw mono amp, and a bypass bow with two 12" rockford P2 subs. total costed around $1300....and i dont regret a dime (upbum)

'03 P5... wagons help with sound alot due to design

OH I was assuming you had all this in a 6, from my understanding the 6 Bose system is extremely difficult to mod so I was hoping to get input from a 6 owner

where is the factory sub in your car?

 

[McBadass]

I've added subs and other audio to all kind of Bose systems, I wouldn't understand why the 6 would be any diff

 

[zinger002]

because if the amp is not internal to the deck then there is no need for a line output converter. if its not internal the wires you need are all running to a place you should be able to find them. except for proper power and ground of course.

The factory sub in the spare tire, lol i think that stupid.

I installed a sub system in my speed 6. I had the factory bose sub and you can get splice into the factory wiring for the audio signal and the remote signal which turns on the amp when the radio turns on. I believe theres a how-to written for this

 

[Hopeless Regret]

Thanks man that would be awesome if I could find this how-to, it would be a great guideline...
