Hello I'm upgrading my CDR-23 to a Becker Cascade and swapping the Bose Amp for an Alpine PDX-5. Just wondering if there is a pin out diagram for the Bose Amp so I can plug into the speaker cables. Also I remember seeing a post on how to access the alarm blinker on the dash for fitting the GPS unit but I cant find it now. Anyone know where it is. Car is MY03 996tt with CDR-23, Bose Amp and CDC-4 (MOST) I'll post up with pictures when I get done. Thanks in advance Andy ETA: On a UK car is there a switched 12V supply anywhere in the centre console to tap into? The CDR-23 doesn't have a switched supply.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll probably go the 5 channel route and the Alpine looks pretty compact. I'll tackle it in a few weeks when I get some time to look closer at it. -

Hello I've just bought an X50 turbo and unfortunately it has MOST (early 03MY). I have a Becker Cascade sitting in the garage that I would like to use and have been thinking about how to go about it... Getting another amp to replace the MOST one is unavoidable it seems but after that it seems a little trickier in places without changing a bunch of speakers too and I don't really want to get into that as I mainly only want Nav/Bluetooth and adequate audio. With a 5 channel amp could you run the door and rear speakers through the amp but the dash speakers from the head unit. I could run the fronts in series but is there any degradation in sound quality? I've been told you could get back emf issues due to differences in the speakers. The main problem seems to be with the sub. The Bose sub is 1 ohm which is an unusual impedence I think. Question, is it 2 x 1ohm subs in parallel or is it 2 x 0.5ohm in series. If the former then surely they could be converted to series and run as the 5th channel on the amp (could you put a resistor in series instead?). Or.. the Bose amp is a 6 channel I believe meaning there should be another amp for the sub somewhere. Does that mean you can just take the head unit sub out to the OE sub amp and use the 1 ohm speakers? Does something happen to the signal in the Bose amp other than converting from fibre-optic to copper? If I can get the answers to some of these questions from somewhere I'll take a crack at it next time I'm home. Cheers
