Issue with 02 Maxima factory BOSE system...

[ChaudMasterFlex]

Here's my issue...I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima GLE. I have a Pioneer headunit with the rest of the audio system being the OEM/factory BOSE (ie; speakers, amp, sub). My problem is that I can turn the volume up to about ten, with the volume increasing, but after that only the numbers will increase and not the volume. I was told that the issue is the BOSE system itself and the easiest fix is to completely bypass the Bose system...is this the case? If so, could someone maybe point me in the right direction. I have had some suggestions regarding different harnesses. I also don't consider myself a guru in this dept. either. I have looked for a right-up on this, but have been unsuccessful in finding one.

I guess I'll have to. I've heard you have to bypass the BOSE because the BOSE amp makes the speakers cut out or something like that?
