my car currently has a custom bose sound system that includes a 10" bose sub in an enclosure underneath my trunk mat. i want to just do a basic swap with that sub to an aftermarket one. i want to use that same enclosure and wiring and everything but just swap the sub. when i took the bose sub out i realized that it has a harness connection instead of two wires like most subs have. how can i go about converting that harness into the two wires that an aftermarket subwoofer has.

connector on subwoofer:


wiring harness:

 

what are you trying to achieve by doing this?...if the ohms arent correct it will just burn out the bose amp/new sub...it wont sound any better either maybe even worse...

 

Lines for the woofer amplifier should be:

positive lead
negative lead
and ground

Don't know what the terminal connections are for. How about get yourself a factory service manual with wiring diagrams.

 

the other are probably a remote turn on from the deck and line inputs for sub signal...i would bet the amp is built onto the sub...is this an rsx by chance?

 

im posting on a 350z forum because i have a 350z not an rsx.

a wiring diagram wont help because as i said its a custom bose system not the stock one, my car was a bose edition 350z that i bought from bose.


my car is powering 10 speakers and a sub so i figured i could install a subwoofer that is slightly better and hits harder but isnt too much that the amp wont handle

 

well this seems like a one off type thing so idk if anyone is going to know anything about it...a new sub in the same enclosure powered by the same amp will do the same thing and if u go with something with a lower impedance or ohm rating you will burn out the amp or sub...speakers are loads they dont produce any more than what is given to them...the only thing that makes a crappy speaker sound decent is the enclosure it is in...
