Did you guys ever get anywhere with this project?

 

My plan is to start upgrading stuff once the weather gets a bit warmer.. We've had a really long winter over here this year, it's usually spring this time of the year but there is still snow everywhere

 

I will get car turboed first, then may be will do speakers. I got used to the way how current ones sound, so, it is a low priority now...

My major concern is how to take doors apart and do new wiring from amplifier to the doors. It is a bit trickier than I thought it would be and will require some time, so, will see.

 

Did you see this thread?

Nice installation, a good basis for a high-end upgrade like you are planning.

 

Hello please can some help
i have a 997 with pcm and bose system aim try in to upgrade i have install a box with 2 8's in on the back shelf lead to a amp position in the front boot easy for wiring lol power and remote wires are sort

i have located the bose amp positioned in the front hoping to take a line out from it
with the bose amp i am confronted with an optic link and large socket connection with about 20 cables working from the left there are 5 pairs of cables (belive these to be outputs to speaker then a space then a pair of orange with a single white and yellow next to them i found that this seems to be the sub output channel for the bose sub in the footwell then a space then 4 green quite thick space and then red and black power

so i connected my line out adapter to the orange - & + and plug it into my woofer amp and hay presto it works but was extremely quite i then did little research and found that the output on the bose system is only 2ohm and would need some kine of line driver or pre amp to pump it up before i run it in to my woofer amp

so i have purchased a 7 EQ line driver quit a nice little unit so now i want to wire the 7 EQ in as well yes not only to control the my woofer but all the speaker as well. Once the EQ is in place the woofer will be no problem as it can come straight off the EQ as there is woofer line out. The EQ needs front L & R and rear L & R input and of course has front L & R and rear L & R outputs now ideally this should be wired in before the bose amp but if the amp get the audio signal via the optic link i will have to wire in after by cutting the wire off the amp thought the EQ then back out to the speaker


1) Dose the bose amp get the audio signal from pcm via the optic link and outputs thought the wires to the speakers??
2) Dose anyone know the what is which with the wires out of the bose amp ie first pair rear left second pair rear right ect??
3) Dose anyone have have the wire colours fot the bose audio system ie orange - & + sub channel
4) there are nine speakers in the car 2 in the rear 4 in the front doors 3 in dash this would equal 18 wires are there any speaker wired in series ie the 3 dash speaker so there are only 2 wires fo these 3 speakers
5) Dose anyone know which is the remote wire or out power antenna

i not have access the back of the head unit and was hoping i didnt need to but i have look at a picture of the back it has several sockets the optic link and 3 sockets 2 of which look like standard iso connector what wires come out of the head unit

any info or wiring diagrams would much appreciated
