I have an 02 blazer with a Bose system and I am trying to install an aftermarket radio in it but when its all hooked up there is no sound, I keep hearing about an amp wire that needs to be powered up where can I finds this wire?
Thanks

ok thank you

 

Use the power ant. lead from your radio to power on the amp. Are you just replaceing the Head unit and using all the existing speakers? I have a bose unit as well and I would be curious to see how it all works out. Will you still have steering wheel control?

 

I did some internet searches to see what I could find out about integrating a new head unit with the bose system. For the best result I would consider utilizing the adapter listed below. It is a plug and play adapter. The bose amp uses speaker level input and not line level and the speakers are 1 Ohm and not 4 Ohm. The adapter provides the correct level input as well as providing a plug n play solution. My bose system works perfect at the moment, but you never know how long it will last, and if you want Ipod or other accessories then an aftermarket head unit would be a good way to go. Good luck on your install.

ok I used the dark green wire that turns into a blue wire on the other side of the plug and connected it to the blue power antenna wire from the radio and it works and sounds alot better
