I am assuming that the factory wires behind the headunit are ALREADY GOING TO the Bose amp BEFORE going to the speakers, right? So, in my case, the Bose speakers should still be powered by the Bose amp. The headunit I'M using now (Pioneer X920BT) is just sending the audio source to the Bose amp, just like the stock Bose headunit, no? Am I off here?

So i just dropped in a z120bt into my sport touring z without the nav. I replaced my bose head unit. The harness does go to the bose amps, however, this is why you cannot directly wire your head unit to the harness. It is the bose amps that present such low impedance to the head unit. This is what will burn out your head unit. For my install i used a pac. The headunits 4x2 speakers wires (8 wires) were wired to the pac, and the pacs output wires were connected to the car wire harness. All other wires were hooked up normally.

I am pretty sure this is an accurate response, i hope Big can verify it.
