Re: Kick Panel wires?

Confirmed. Look below. Plus they work! How would I hook em up though? I have the dash panel ones hooked up. Can I just tap into the dash panel ones?

Re: Kick Panel wires?

Well yesterday I connected a 12v to the wall outlet and I powered it up. Then I disconnected a speaker lead from my home entertainment system and what do you know, the WII's Punch Out game was sounding off. So now that I verified that it could be done so easily, I was thinking about hooking up the power on lead (kick panel)to the blue wire that is commonly know as the "Power Antenna Lead" on the stereo.

Re: Kick Panel wires?

If you're running an aftermarket headunit, connect the amps to the "Remote Power Out" wire. Otherwise, you'll only have sound coming from the Bose stuff when the radio is on (not CD or AUX inputs). If you still have the stock HU, you'll still have the same problem, but I'm going to assume you use the radio more often than anything else (except possibly a CD player).
