Now I have everything that I need to install.
Just purchased Infinity Kappa 102.7w + converter and the misc wires/connectors.
Now I'll just have to wait until this weekend to install. I would rather not install or work on the car at night.
Just make sure you wire this sub correctly. this sub is a 2ohm sub. this means that you can either wire it for 2ohm (1 wire to +&-) or 1ohm (1 wire to each set of +&-) or Serial which will go to 4ohm. you are using an AMP (ZX6000) that is NOT capable of doing 1ohm. If you are planning on using only 1 Sub, you will need to wire your sub in Serial to get 4ohm. If you wire your sub incorrectly, you might end up over loading your amp. The best way for you would be to run 2 Subs wired for 2ohm each and connect to each of the 2 channels of your amp. If you have one sub, you can wire one channel to one Voice coil on the sub, the other Channel to the other voice coil.

Your 12V wire (red) needs to be about 25'. your Ground wire needs to be as short as possible. try to keep it under 3'. Depending on the location of the box. Try to ground it near your box somewhere. The Shorter the better.

Hey, also wish you a good luck with your install!
I just have couple of things that I want to clarify before this install.
Amp model : Hifonics Zeux ZX6000 2CH amplifier. I will bridged to MONO 4ohm.
I am going to connect 1 Infinity Kappa sub @ 4ohm.
From the amplifier user manual, " A MONO signal source is required, such as would be available from the mono sub bass output of an active crossover, whether standalone, or built into a headunit or EQ...... It is necessary to feed the SAME signal to both left and right inputs via a Y-adapter RCA cable"
What is this suppose to mean???
Also, I have purchased PAC SNI-35 Line out converter. This unit has 6 wires.
2 wires for RCH + & -, 2 wires for LCH +&- and 2 ground wires. 2 ground wires can be discarded.
Now the bose wiring:
Subwoofer signal: Positive- White
Negative- Black
Amplifier Turn-on- Pink
So do I connect both +,+ to the WHITE and -,- to black?
Thank you for your help.

Yes, the 2 positive L/R go together, and the Negatives go together. No Y-Cable needed.
The AMP has an active crossover (LP/BR mode). Turn the Low Pass knob to about 130. Then play with the Base EQ and Level Knobs until you get the best sound. Just a reminder that you want to start from the lowest setting and work your way up. Even if it sounds good, don't turn the Level to the MAX.
Make sure that you wire the Single SUB wire going to the AMP correctly. You need to connect the wire into + of the Channel1 and - of the Channel 2, skipping the middle 2 posts.
