Thanks in advance, Pete The Bose system uses high level inputs to the amp unlike the usual RCA leads that other "normal" amps use, you could obviously fit an aftermarket amp and wire it directly to the subs terminals bypassing the Bose amp, making it basically a standard wiring setup, also Autoleads do a replacement facia panel and wiring harness so that aftermarket stereos can still use the wheel controls.

Could I fuck The current spidey has a headunit with USB facilities PMSL, those Xplod units had a 10% chance of working when new, the red baron had one when I bought it, took 3 days for me to get off my arse and fit in a nice luxurious Kenwood KDC-BT61U because why bother with a good stereo and a seperate hands free kit or Ipod controls when the this beaut will do it all by bluetooth with built in Parrot system and a USB flylead for you to either plug in the phone for charging, playing choonz etc, when the caller is displayed on screen, the phone connects automatically, it will self answer and you don't even have to take the phone from your crevase.
