I recall that in other Bose car audio setups, Bose has used proprietary type wiring of the speakers.
Meaning that if you want to add an amp and use different speakers then you have to run new wiring to the speakers.
Is this true of the M6 setup?
I want to keep the stock head unit as I did in my Eclipse GT. In the Eclipse Infinity system I made my own breakout box using existing wiring from the stock HU to the Infinity amp. I created a box which gave me RCA line level outputs.
Then I simply ran my power wires and audio RCA interconnects to the new amp and then ran the speaker wire to the stock system wiring. Then I put in a 10" sub and new components with a new crossover. I didn't use the rear speakers as I like a better sound stage.
That setup took some work but was relatively easy if you've done audio setups before. Now, is this possible with the Bose setup? Can I create my own breakouts BEFORE the stock amp? Where is the stock amp?
Is the stock wiring to the speakers standard stuff? IOW, is it simply negative and positive to each speaker or does the wiring interconnect somewhere to that some speakers are connected?
What is the difference between the Bose 6 disc and the standard 6 disc in terms of amp and connections?
Is the standard 6 disc the same unit, whereas the Bose has better OEM speakers and a sub?
I'm going to design a setup where I can turn the rear speakers on or off as I need them. As I said, I prefer the soundstage with components in front only with a sub in the rear, no fills. However, when having passengers I'd like to be able to turn on the rear door speakers so that they can have some better sound. I may simply run a separate amp for those and use a splitter before the rear sub to feed a line signal to that amp.
Thanks for any input on the Bose wiring. Picts are very welcome if you have them. I won't have my 6 till after March, maybe the middle of April, but I'd like to get things before hand.
