RE: BOSE SYSTEM..PLEASE CLAIFY.

[zeek the geek <zeek@texas.net>]

ok im goin to be answering this question alot since i just
installed a Blaupunkt Las Vegas into my '98 GLX with
Bose...

basically all you need to do is wire it up so that you don't
connect the negative speaker wires to ANYTHING. just 
tape them up real good and hook the rest up like normal.
you can do this with a wiring harness and not have to cut
any factory wiring... i bought my head unit at cruchfeild
and they included a harness free of charge. 
also- the fuba antenna needs 12v running to it. just hook
the antenna turn-on lead to the right wire of the harness
and you'll be set there.

sorry this is so choppy. i'm doing about five things at once
here but see marks page for a real nice write up with pics
and all. thats where i got my information anyway.
look under the upgrading/interior/bose section.
feel free to email me priv if you have any questions!
btw- the bose system sounds aLOT better with the new deck!
good luck
