Just want more bass for Bose

DR_

Okay so I forgot that the amp is in the woofer so the wires that go to the sub are low level. So can RCA plugs be put on them and run them into the low level on an amp?

I prefer facing down so that I can keep it stealth. I suspect if facing up if there is any type of carpet over them that the carpet would be blown around.

It doesn't make much difference which way it's pointed, it still has to pump the same amount of air in/out the "back" as it does out/in the "front". It will bounce the carpet the same amount.

Mounting the driver "upside down" does allow you to use the magnet as a center support for the carpet. Just remember you have a huge magnet sitting there and don't set your laptop on it.

NO you can not, you need a LOC to give you a clean flat signal to start with and to add what the bose system takes away in its processing.

I'm thinking of doing exactly this too, with a LOC, but is the amp for the Bose sub in the sub enclosure? Meaning the wiring to the sub enclosure is in fact low level? Please clarify bigaudio so I don't fry anything!
Thanks.

A lot of this info is in the AV section of the FSMs. The AV section of the FSM is a great resource for what you are doing.

According to AV, the Bose amp (behind and between the seats) sends an On signal to the woofer. That's says to me the the woofer has power (amp) that needs to be turned on, but I may be mistaken (didn't feel like digging any deeper when others probably know the answer already ).

Thanks I've read a lot of the audio threads but didn't think of that.

So I looked this up in the FSM and there is no amp in the sub. Only two wires from the Bose amp and confirmed in my car. (2012MY). I'm going to just tap the rear speaker leads for the LOC and from there to an amp and sub.
