Bose subwoofer?

Someone probably pulled some of the bose system out. Does your head unit say bose? Also The link is not a bashing thread its facts about the bose system and upgrading options.

The speakers have the logo on the grills, that's really my only indicator I know of.

I appreciate the photos, and I'm sorry if I came off pissy on that last post. I'll pull it all apart again and look for that harness. Earlier when I looked I couldn't find one and that was really my big indicator of whether the car came with one, logical or not.

EDIT: Found the harness, tucked away...bastards.

Assuming I have a harness is there really no way to use that with a LOC to an amp just for a single sub?

HI T_R_J,

If you search there is one article about a guy who modified his bose wheel sub to accommodate an external amp, therein he describes the pinout of the plug you found in your car.
BAF can explain further your options, most likely just running 12V from your battery to the trunk, then using an EQ to flatten the emphasis from the BOSE preamp (- if it's emphasized, not sure haven't measured/swept sine thru my system yet), then attach a new amp with a sub. There again are several threads here in the audio section where folks actually build subs that fit in the mag spare tire cavity and they are very satisfied with the sound.
PS: The "What to know about BOSE" thread actually has a lot of information about the BOSE system, some of it's anti-bose but that's everywhere, sort of like "anti-apple" etc., but the article does have useful info about alternative approaches to obtain the "urban" sound from your system with a BOSE Navi/Headunit. Your options are very limited though.
Happy Hunting!
