I’ve been reading all about the Bose gold II posts and haven’t really been able to correct my issue.

when I bought my 90’ iroc, came with the factory Bose gold II head unit (which I want to keep for the stock look). The problem is that the factory speakers and amps are gone. I have the rear hatch panel for 6.5, and front kick panels for I believe 4’s. The factory plugs are gone and the wires were just shoved in the spare tire compartment. If you plug the wires into the speakers directly you get a low audio output because the missing amps.
I am not looking to go stock amps and speakers on this. And right now I’m just trying to find a set up that works in the rear hatch. I have figured out what wires are for power and are for speakers. I have wired in a “speaker wire to RCA connector” that goes to a mini amp off Amazon for my audio input. Then on the output side I have it wired to the speakers l. I’m using the factory orange and black wire for power to the mini amp which only puts out 50 watts so I know I’m not gonna blow a fuse. But nothing, no sound out of the speaker. I’ve tried 3 different brands with this set up and nothing. So I know I am definitely missing something here since I can get audio if I touch the factory wires right to the speakers.

please let me know what I can do to keep my stock head unit, and power the factory speaker locations with after market speakers. once I figure out what I’m doing wrong I will probably also figure out how to wiring in speakers at the dash and the sail panels as there is no speakers there now.

thank you for the help

 

Maybe start with a signal converter,... them wire in whatever you want after the fact.

 

You should send me a message or E-Mail,.... we might be able to help each other.
