No interest in an aftermarket stereo. If you actually read the post I made, you'll see I want to add a sub/amp to the factory stereo.

You either need a High low converter or just buy an amp with the high level inputs. I have a amp and 2-10s hooked up to the factory Am/Fm radio in my Lmm. It sounds good. I also had to add a couple tweeters to calm the bass down. You having a bose system you should still be able to hear it clear and add some extra kick.

Yup I did it to my truck!
You need a RCA converter where you attatch it to your speakers to grab signal. I spliced into my rear speakers then ran wire to the rear were I had my amp so I only need 1ft long RCA's. Then run the amp and wires like normal. I got 2 box's with 4 10's total. It slams :rockin
This is like the converter you need. I think best buy sells them

You need one of these PAC AOEM-GM24 ADD AMP Avalanche Sierra Envoy Silverado - eBay (item 350324116714 end time Apr-02-10 12:58:09 PDT) simple plug inline to your factory stereo, gives you front and rear rca outputs and an amp turn on lead. I got one in my truck and it sound a lot better than those inline converters, the bass doenst dim out anymore when I turn it up.

AFTER,the benefits are that it'll work,if you hook it before like you did the audio will be very low!!
It does man,I did it before the first time and I got a ''protect'' light on the amp,it never would let my particular amp work,I called one of my friends and he told me get the signal afterwards that the amp was seeing too much voltage for a speaker input and giving me the protect mode[that's when it worked that is,the audio was also very low too]
Killerbee you are right on the money!!
Yes that is what I have and like it a lot,for twenty bucks it is the right thing to do ..A clean signal from under the center console and no one is the wiser,everything is really neat/hidden,and the amp doesn't clip or pick up static from power lines,gas powered vehicles near you at the red light etc...
Splicing a regular old RCA line into your speaker wires is sure to get you some nasty interference,and at that point it is of little importance what quality of equipment you have, it'll sound cheap......
does it have a frequency crossover in it??I been trying to find one that is adjustable rather than build one.....i used a converter called the MTX Re-Q.
search it up, it works awesome, i liked it cause i was able to make adjustments on the re-q, and on my amp.
i couldn't get the bass i wanted out of a regular high/low converter, this re-q did what i needed
OH use two PAC adapters......one for the front,one in the rear sets of speakers,also using two when you adjust your fade or balance the bass will stay consistent.....I had only one,attached to the right rear speaker,and it sounded a bit weird[[[like only one side was playing,but indeed everything was correct]]],then added my second one and WHAMO world of difference being it was only getting signal from one rear speaker......one is on right rear,other is left front..
