Title: BOSE help please
Post by: Ernie on 08 October 2007, 19:46:26
Hi all.Ive just helped remove a bose speaker set and amp from a Elite my friend is breaking.
As i helped remove it he offered it to me for a very good price. the thing is we removed all the speakers the amp and the loome is it just a case of removing all the standerd speakers and loome from my elite then plug all back in to the loome in the drivers side foot well.
Just wondered before i took it on tomorrow after work any advise would be grand.
With thanks
Chris.

The bose does not operate at the same levels as non amp'd systems.

Unless the Alpine has line level out, it won't work (though I seem to recall bose isn't quite line level out)

from what I remember, bose head unit outputs at line level (0.7V) - most pre-outs on aftermarket head units run at 2 or 4V. So you'd need to wire up the pre-out to speaker connections as that's where the bose amp takes its' input from ...
