The Bose amp is pretty much proprietary. You'll be doing a bit of rewiring.

When I got my SE-i, everything was already swapped out for (crappy) hardware. They ran new wiring for the speakers, which was decent... but I am going to say that the Bose setup is an all or nothing deal. The speakers have VERY odd numbers and the amp is something in itself. Really your best bet is to run new wires. Maybe you can salvage some of the door speaker wiring just to make life easier.

I'm of the humble opinion that anything with Bose on it should be smashed to tiny pieces.

if i go with a diff deck can i use the original plug or do i have to change all the wiring.

you can get adapters that allow you to plug into the stock harness but your still going to need to change a lot of the wiring. like people said your going to have to run separate speaker wire to the speakers.
thanks mkymonkey
you mean the adapters like the scoche ones and splice some new speaker wires to it.i take it the speaker wires run through the factory amp.so the little blue plug behind the deck is for the steering wheel controls.
If i cut the wires going into the amp match them up to the speaker wires that will work with diff deck right.
If you bypass the amp completely, then I don't see why it wouldn't work.
My car already had new wiring ran for the speakers, so I didn't have to take that route which means I can't say 100% for sure... but logically it sounds like it should work.

well the volumn is very low in the back speakers,can't hear anything from front ones.So yeah i think the amp is fucked,just want to bypass amp and put in my other honda deck to try for now.got other stuff to do to her before i worry about the stereo.
Anyone know why there are three wires on rear speakers.
do you check your fuses? If your running new wires, tape them to the old ones to fish them out
I took out the amp and deck,put the deck out of my other accord but i just want splice the wires to the speakers to try it for now.still too cold out to spend to much time working on the car.
damn weather! cant wait to do some repair on my car, its raining and my lease is up in spring
you could always pay a qualified audio specialist to fix your shit up nice??
