Is it possible to avoid the bose amp entirely and just have all the speakers connect to your own new amp that also powers a sub? Would that be the better solution instead of trying to piggy back off existing hardware?
LOC is a common thing when installing an aftermarket headunit into a system that has a factory amplifier. The other options are buy the wiring harness which has RCA's on the ends (don't remember the metra model # off hand) or bypass the factory amp which can be a bitch. I've never done it on a Z before so I couldn't tell you how hard it is.
