Would a regular Line out Converter do the job here? I've heard all kinds of conflicting stores, some people are telling me because its Bose you need some kind of special adapter and a LOC won't work. Please dispell the myths for me, and also what brand LOC do you recommend, I want some real good quality. I had a David Navone in my last car because someone told me it was the best, but that was a few years ago. THANKS!

So nobody knows if a regular LOC would work on the Bose system in an 02 Escalade??? I find that hard to believe.

Regular LOC should work fine. The factory amp is under the console, you should be able to access speaker leads there.

There is no such thing as free installation!

Should I hook up the LOC from the leads GOING INTO the factory amp, or COMING OUT of the factory amp. I had an issue with that on my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Infinity Gold System, I hooked it up one way and got no sound and had to do it the other way, forgot which was which. oh, and which brand do you recommend for a LOC, I want good quality, I'm planning on a JL Audio 1000/1 with either a 12W7 or 13W7 in a ported box. Do you think I will need a Capacitor with that set up too? THANKS!
