Hi all,
Newbie here. So I've spent a lot of time reading up on the forum about the skippy Bose headunit (which I have ) and what is needed to replace the headunit for an aftermarket one and what cables i need etc..
So I'm going to change it soon, maybe this week, just need to decide on what headunit I want to get. Anyway, after reading up on some headunits not producing a loud enough sound, maybe down to a lower voltage pre outs ie 2v and below. Now you buy an adaptor that has pre out on it so you can hook up the pre outs from your new shiny headunit. The little Bose amp thats in the car does not have pre outs (or should that be pre in's?? lol). Now I could be wrong but surely using the pre outs from the new head unit are ment to be a low level out put hence why some people get a low sounding system? Would it not be correct to use the actual speaker wire outputs from the new headunit as I thought that these speaker wire outputs where high outputs? I even remember me having an old amp that had the option for normal low level inputs (phono pre outs) and high level inputs (speaker wire outputs). So basically what im trying to get at is why is there an adaptor for the bose system that is not ment to run on the low level pre outs from a head unit. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree? lol.
Hope that all makes sense. It does in my head anyway.
Cheers
Omar
