I have a feeling it's meant to run off of high level (speaker level) inputs rather than low level (rca's) inputs. Don't quote me on this though. You may want to PM someone that has already done this install.

What I mean is that instead of hooking up the sub to your rca's you may have to hook it up to your rear speaker lines. It looks like the wires showing in the picture may be a power, switched power, and ground for the amp and then a positive and negative for supplying the audio signal from your HU. Again, don't quote me on this. A lot of amps give you the option of using rca's or speaker inputs (in this case your rear speaker lines). I really hope someone chimes in here and confirms this for you.

Really if I knew the bose would work some how in the S, I wouldn't have gottan subs. I thought it needed the Bose head unit too.

JasonB is the one to talk to about this. I think you either need a harness or you need to solder the wires into the head unit. Good luck ~
