I finally installed the Eclipse last night so I have an idea of what is 
going on.  When you pulled the stock deck out you will notice THREE 
harness.  One is the CD Changer controls the second is the speaker 
attachments the third are the powerlines..etc.  Running from the Speaker 
harness to the powerline harness is a black line.  This is your turn on 
lead for the amplifier and is the one you wire to your headunit's amp 
turn on lead.  Also remember to have the DIN-12 adapter to wire of the 
antenna on correctly.  To check it your amp is even turning on, after 
playing the system for awhile go back and see if the Bose Amp is hot at 
all.  I plugged my Eclipse system in and will tell you that you 
definately will notice a difference.  It seems that the Panasonic head 
unit must have some kind of bass boost because I lost a bit of bass in 
the switchover...Oh well, sub goes in next week.  OVerall though the 
system still sounds great!  I have the describtion of all this on my 
site and will have lots of photos scanned in by the end of next week.
