Hi, I'm a new meber with a question. I recently put a complete custom computer in my car and I am running into a few audio problems. I was told that this forum might be able to help me out. Here goes. I am having trouble integrating my carputer with my stock bose system. I know bose isn't the best in the world o have to do this with but it came with the car. What i was told I need was something that will take a "preamp signal" and send it into your Bose amplified system. Also I believe my bose takes a balanced signal. SO I was wondering if you guys know of anything that will help me turn my soundcards unbalanced preamp signal into a balanced one my bose will accept.

Thanks for your time. I love your forum. I'm learning a lot.

You'll probably need an adapter box from Audiolink or someone. I think one of their cablelink kits might work for you:

i would recommend a PIE Bose differential convertor... it's not free, but remember..... there's two ways to do everything and one of them's properly

Go [url=https://www.pac-audio.com/auxbox/default.htm]here[/url] and see if your vehicle is listed, if it is then they should have an auxillary input adaptor that you can use with your factory head-unit.
