Is there anyone out there that has bypassed the factory bose amp to amplify the stock door speakers with a different amp? I just got done doing my install on my 06yukon and want to amplify the stock bose door speakers with my amp( dont have the funds right now to replace) Was wondering if anyone has a wiring diagram of the connecter at the amp. I can just "loop" the wires and bypass the amp right? By the way, love the site!

You can find wiring diagrams online. You will need an adapter to keep the door chimes and onstar if you have them. It can be done pretty easily. I dont know about using the factory speakers with another amp they have a different ohm rating than most speakers.

The load rating on these is 2 ohm. I already checked. The amp that i have is a rockford power 1000 5 channel amp. It has a seperate sub channel that puts out 930rms at 1ohm and the other channels is about 110rms at 4 ohm. The amp is 1 ohm stable. I know that i will blow the speakers eventually, just need to save some cash first to add some componets.

Is there something wrong with the amp, or you just want to ramp it up?

I thought the factory speakers were like 3 ohms or something weird. You can run it that way for a while it probably wont sound the best.

Is that what he wants to do, is get rid of the boss amp?

i understood it as such. i think it would be more worth it for you to save up and replace your speakers first. check ebay. i know i saw some power series 6 1/2 fosgates for $55

Why do it a all until you get both? Not sure why he wants to change anything until he has everything.
