Sub in the rear with a BOse system?
Can i tap the rear speakers for my in-line amp connection? I have heard with a bose system, something is different? Is it safe to tap for my amp, that will power my sub in the trunk?

I dont really know anything about the bose system, but there is no reason why you cant use the rear speaker wires as high level inputs. They still work the same as a regular speaker regardless of impedance. A high level amp connection shouldnt have very much effect on the way the original steup functions.

you'll want to tap into the wires between the radio and the amp, which is directly below the radio, and right in front of the BOSE DYNAMIC EQUALIZATION emblem. This way you get the cleanest sound.

Take those rear speaker leads from the amp, and hook them up to the head unit. No need to run new wire (although if you have to do a power wire for your new amp you'll need to anyways).

And yes, you'll want to splice into the wiring BEFORE the BOSE amp for a cleaner sound.
