Tony,
Thanks for the fast reply. I called Crutchfield today and the only adapter that they offer kills the speakers in the doors and only accepts speaker level inputs, so I seem to be back to square one. I guess my other option at this time is to dig out my old 50x4 amp and install a couple component sets right now and forget about the Bose system. I hate to do this because 1. the excess weight it will add to the car, and 2. I don't think I will be able to find a component set that I will find sonically appealing without the use of a sub where as the Bose system was pretty well balanced. Anyway, though I'd let everyone know where I stand.... perhaps a trip to the local audio shop will proove helpful. Thanks againf for your suggestions.
John
