[QUOTE="AnthonyO, post: 7805292, member: 563887"] I have to agree with keeping the factory headunit for now. You can pickup a LOC(Line Out Converter) for fairly cheap. But if you have the Bose system you will need to run the LOC after the amplifier. So if the Tahoe already has a sub (can't remember if you said that in the first post) just connect the LOC at that location. This way you can concentrate the $400 budget on a sub, amp, box, and wiring. If it were me, I would slowly piece this together instead of trying to work with such a low budget. I would use the $400 to either buy a sub and enclosure or amp first. And then worry about buying other pieces when more money is available. Right now I run an Obsidian 15d2 off of an RE Audio DTS1500.1 with RE components running off an RE Audio DTS750.2. I was working with a budget. The amps sat in my room for about 6 months until I bought my sub and had Dave the Box Guy build my enclosure. Then that sat for another 3 months until I had the money to buy my Pioneer DEH-80PRS. So I say take it in steps. You will be more glad that you did. And just an FYI: This setup did a 143.2 on termlab. Not bad for a daily system running stock electrical. [/QUOTE]
