Take the converter back from where you got it and get a refund. Find a rca with a female end and cut it off leaving 2-3 inchs of wire to work with.
Go to your trunk where the bose sub is and unplug the harness. One end is white, the other is black. Its about 8'' long. Expose the wires (solid black=ground, blue/red stripe=remote on, brown=single-, black/red stripe=single+)
Splice the female rca in to the brown and black/red wires.
The positive on an rca is transmitted in the center of the plug
THe negitive is on the outside.
Splice the remote turn on for your amp to the blue/red wire
Buy a y spliter for your rca to the amp and your done.

This is how i did it on my 06 with bose and it worked great.
Good luck

this has been a source of controversy on these boards. there's a nice little write up over on mazda6tech.com.

one mod since my last amp in a 6, on the splitter, and use butt-connectors to lengthen the wires on the splitter. i added about 6 inches this last go around and it really made the job cleaner/easier.

Can someone please confirm if this is the correct wiring for the MS6?
Thanks.

as mentioned in the linked thread in my previous post:
thin black/red is the signal postive lead. the audio signal is A/C. brown serves as a point of reference. connecting your signal negative to this lead may not work. you may leave the negative signal lead disconnected, but must connect up the postive lead. this has been covered in numerous threads.
