Question BOSE (pre MOST) Amp Wiring - Help needed

Hi guys

At the moment I'm replacing the factory BOSE amp (in a 996TT) with an aftermarket one. But I really have trouble to identify which cable (connected to the amp) is for what…

I've already found Slider's wiring diagram https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...eo-wiring.html, but I still miss the following information:

  • which color have the cables from the amp to the subwoofer
  • which color have the cables bringing the headunit audio signals to the amp
  • which cable is the remote-on cable?
Thank you guys in advance for your help…

If you have the same amp as I do...Amp to factory subs is brown/white and white (they are slightly larger gauge than the other speaker wires coming from amp).


here is the wiring chart---->

all the speakers are 2 ohm and aftermarket amps are mostly 4 ohm so speakers will need to be replaced. head unit as well.

The head unit was already replaced a while a go. For having a better sound quality I've decided to replace the speakers and the amp as well. The only things I'd like to use from the old system are the wires.

But thanks anyway for your help. :-)

The wiring issue is speaker wires for the doors merge in the harness somewhere and a single lead enters the amp. No way to separate the left and right channels since I was running crossovers. It's not that hard to run all new better wiring just time consuming
