Default Installing a BOSE factory amp on a 2001 A4 without BOSE
Hey everyone, I just bought a used factory BOSE amp for my 2001 A4. Does anyone have a write up for installing this?

thanks!

Default Good Luck! Unless you have the speakers & wiring loom forget it.
It's not worth it even if it was an easy job (which it's not). You need to replace all the speakers, run new speaker cable for the fronts, run a new wiring loom from the HU to feed the amp, and run new power for the amp. Totally pointless for arguably no improvemnt in SQ.

Why? Most of us are trying to find a way to replace ours, not add one.
