I broke away from what I was doing sooner than expected.

I used the Pac Audio aph-gm02 t-harness. (IIRC, the labels on the wires were all wrong though.)

I started without the AVB module as it wasn't available a year ago. I used the AudioControl dm-608 plus a 4 channel and a mono sub amp and the harness. (and power/rca's)

I didn't connect the rear speakers or the center.

I used the factory wires by feeding my new amplified signal through the t-harness back up to the speakers. I'm only pushing about 75w to dash and 120w to doors so the factory wiring probably isn't getting stressed too badly.

This spring I got the AVB module and eliminated the Bose amp. I kept the dm-608 but I'm feeding optical to it and using it for active front stage among other things.

Version 1.0 with just the DM-608 was bad. Factory compression/limiter was a pain and bass rolloff was terrible. Especially in a convertible.

The NAVTV AVB is much better and worth every penny if you truly like SQ at all.
