Hello, I am wiring this sub amp and speakers from a 997 into a Boxster and need to build a custom harness. The amp is the Bose Autobahn setup, with the 6 pin AMP connector. Can anyone help me by identifying the pins? Of the six pins only five are in use, connectinng to the amp via a twelve pin connector which plugs into the PCB.
Thanks!
Bose Subwoofer (416007) Wiring

Wow! Thanks for your reply.
You are correct, I am trying to use the sub amp and speakers in the Boxster, taking the appropriate input from the head unit or Nokia amp (98 Boxster). I am installing the sub speakers in the rear compartment, between the rear speakers. I will be installing a level control to give me the ability to adjust the level of the sub relative to the rear speakers, and while I am at it I may add some small tweeters with their own level controls driven by the head unit.
I bench tested last night before I saw your post and confirmed the pin configuration you described.
I have one more question, is the input to the Bose sub amp line level or pre-amplified or speaker level. (High impedance or low?) When I hooked it up to a portable CD player it sounded a bit wimpy.
Thanks again!
