Just a visual the bottom connector are the wires that go to your speakers.
Is bypassing the amp just a matter of moving wires around? Any guidance?

Well probably the easiest methid would be to run speaker wires from the speaker outputs on the head unit to where the connector is on the amp.

You could then just unplug the connector and go 2 or 3 inches back from the connector and splice into the wiring harness.

I am not familiar with the Bose wiring so might wait on Particle Wave to give some advice.


The other option would be run new speaker wires from hu to the speakers. The dash wings are easy enough. But getting into the door cavity is a pain.


I did a full upgrade:
Pioneer HU
Alpine pdx 9 amp
Hertz 3 way components 6.5 door, 3 inch mid and 1 inch tweeter dash.
Modified an old 996 cabriolet subwoofer box installed an 8” pioneer shallow mount sub driver. Had to stuff the box and use dynamat to clear some buzz in the box. Sounds really good now.
Cross over duties handled by the head unit.

so are the head units outs in use now to amp are the RCA connections? If not that could be some of your problem, the amp needs the lower power signal otherwise can inject noise.
