use a good quality Bose compatible line level adapter... something like PIE's differential converter and away you go.... you will have to use a remote voltage switching device like DEI's 55000 or else wire the amp remote to accessory for turn on.....

should be a fairly simple install......

What he said. Line level convertor off the Bose amp and run your remote wire to the ignition harness or use that DEI piece. The amp is under the center console and you can get to it by removing the center lid and rear cup holder plate. You will see four screws behind the cup holders. Make sure and use a line level convertor that is adjustable because the Bose amp puts out some decent current. I have a 2004 SS as well and I used the Monster Cable convertors and I'm sending almost 8 volts into my amps. Let me know if you have any more ?'s. The speaker wires are standard GM colors.
