Question

Why is it difficult to install aftermarket stereo equipment with a Bose car stereo system?

Answer 1

the reason is because there are amps already in your car and the radio puts out only a tiny amount of electric and the amps do the rest. If you were to hook a regular head unit to the inputs on the stock amps you would fry them instantly. it is possible to change the head unit but it is expensive and also a pain in the a$$ to get all the wiring out and new wires ran.

Answer 2

You can, you will need interfaces and adaptors though. You can add a sub box/amp buy tapping into your speaker wires for example.

Answer 3

b/c your wiring for your old stereo uses the amp while the wirng in the new one doesn't bypass the amp you have to either bypass the car amp manually, which is quite fun,not, or i know that they make a bypass harness for anything but you have to go to an audio shop to order one. and bose ain't that great.
