im sure there is a way but its a pain in the ass im sure. probably have to wait till a bypass module comes out. u can try this. best bet is to get a jl clean sweep or a rockford 360.1

like add an amp for some subs? and keep everything stock?
just get a line-out converter.
if you are replacing everything except the radio, get a clean sweep.

If he has the bose system with a factory amp, a LOC won't work. He will need the clean sweep, or 360.

Not true... The new "Trunkloc" system by PAC is designed for just this application

Retail is $49.95 on it, but can be had for cheaper
Hope that helps.

u have to check the resistance on the speaker's before you do all of that because some of the bose systems speakers have a resistance of .2 or other very low resistances. and it maybe amplfied which means you need to get the wires behind that dash.

The application sheet on PACs site shows this one for use with the Bose and similiar set ups for trunk/ rear speaker application, others you would have to do as Bill recommended.

Sorry guys, you lost me. Whats the clean sweep, 360, and PAC.

It's a 2007 Suburban LT Z71 with the Bose, Nav, and rear view camera system. Top of line truck, only options not on the truck are the power running boards.

clean sweep, and 360 are products by JL and Rockford Fosgate, respectively.
what they do, is take the speaker level output, flatten the pre-set EQ curve from the crappy factory source unit, and output it to RCA connections.
Clean Sweep

and PAC is the company that makes the other converter.
