Guys,

I have just purchased a Bose rear subwoofer system and want to install it into my 98 boxster, I have done a search but cant find anything specific to my enquiry

the specification in the car at the present time is as follows

Becker Traffic Pro headunit

Becker Siverstone CD changer

Front and door speakers only

2 channel amplifier

In addition to the Bose system i have purchased a 4 channel amplifier, my questions are as follows:

1. Assuming the 4 channel amplifier is a straight exchange for my old 2 channel amplifier does the input lead from the head unit just connect in or does it need modification

2, Is the output lead from the 4 channel amplifier to the speakers different from the output to the existing 2 channel amplifier, I'm hoping it is so I can then get a wire made up to link the amplifier to the Bose system,

I hope that makes sense to all.

Any help as usual is appreciated
