You need an adapter for the bose speakers.

Because it is old.

I'm glad someone else posted about this. I was wondering how I was going to get the aftermarket system to work. I think the Bose my uncle picked up is shot. I was planning on running subs & amps anyways, so I'd have to ditch the factory head unit to do so.

If your headunit has 4v pre-outs you don't need that adapter. Metra makes a harness that just plugs into your RCA outs and you don't need to wire up the speaker wires. I forget the part number offhand, but when I go to work tomorrow I'll check for it and post if anyone wants it.
