Alright, I bought 2 new bose amps off ebay from an I30... HOwever, I think my first amp fried because I was drawing too much power from them for my sub...

So right now I have one amp that came with the Q, and 2 I30 amps, which I want to put in the rear speakers.. They have less bass, but more highs... It will sound VERY good with teh sub.. The Q has more bass, so what I was thinking is some way to tap in a bose amp that will be dedicated to the sub and the sub only, and the 2 other wil just be for the rear speakers...

How would I do this.....??

Wes, here's a product that goes "in-line" with you current harness ...CableLink - 4 Channel link that plugs inline between the head unit and car harness to change speakers and amps.

Can you make out the colors they're using for the signal and trigger?

The thing is theres no "trigger" for the bose amps. The power just comes on, and the ground wire. Ther isnt a seperate wire for trigger..

So, what are the 3 wires (other than the RCA's) shown as part of the adapter above?

The harness connetor for that is completely different than what the harness that goes to the bose amps.... This connector (picture) looks like it hooks into the back of the HU.... The bose harnesses (that plug into the amps) has 4 wires, power, +/-, and ground. There is purple, black, orange and yellow.... We know black is ground, now we gotta figure out what the other 3 are (IE which is the +/- signal)
