Did you use aftermarket amp. How was sound afterwards? Also are you goint to run separate wire for subs?

[@goautosound1]

Hi, no, we didn't use an amp. It was connected from radio directly to speakers. No sub but sounded fine

[@Mlive722]

@goautosound1 Nice didn't think it would work because fiber optics good to know

[@JanVergara-z9n]

I have an SL500. I recently had the radio replaced, but I can't seem to adjust the clock at the top. Is there a way to do this from the cluster or another method?"

[@goautosound1]

@JanVergara-z9n i think you need to reinstall the factory radio and then adjust the clock .after that, you may reinstall the radio

[@Naturebycarter]

Man this helped a lot , appreciate your input . Can you tell us what wires did you use color wise , and did you just splice them from the OE amp .. any details will much appreciated Also in your opinion for a professional installer, how much time it should take to wire the front to the back, including removing the panels thanks

[@goautosound1]

This was about 5 hours. It may be easier if you can have a helper doing one part while the other is doing something else

@@goautosound1man thank you so much that is a great help . In your opinion is it worth it to with the stock amp and just get the fiberoptic box converter ?

[@goautosound1]

@Naturebycarter if your amplifier is good, that is the easiest way out

[@Naturebycarter]

@@goautosound1 thank you sir .. I appreciate your valuable info .

[@onlyyoutube3335]

Is there anyway I can contact you I have a few questions. Been trying to figure this all out for around 2 months

[@goautosound1]

Sure what's your question ❓

[@bertmj23]

Dude on the left has super rough hands

[@Naturebycarter]

I guess the system does not allow more than 13 replies lol Just to confirm, you suggest to completely disconnect, the Bose amplifier from its wiring harness and from its power does that sound right? Not sure if you also familiar I really don't care about having the steering controls in the campus. Is that something I can connect in the future since I am directly going to the speakers And bypassing the Bose amp

[@goautosound1]

Yes, you can add steering wheel control to the radio

[@temotorsport9787]

This soundsystem bose absolutely require a new amplifier for good decent sound....thid will sound like shit

[@goautosound1]

Most manufacturers use same audio chips,yes it will make sound better to add an amplifier but it was decent enough for my customer 😊
