andrew72090 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 so this is my first post im having some trouble with my friends truk... im installing a amp and sub set up in his truck and i cant get bass to come through? i got everything hooked up and wired right but no bass, he has the bose stereo in it and im thinkin it has something to do with that and every where ive read isnt giving me enough info to answer any of my questions so im hoping yall can. he got rid of the factory radio and put in an alpine cde-100, from there i went and ran the wires and wired up the amp. but no sound. so im now at a stand off with it with no knoweldge where to go from here. any help or advice is wanted, please i appreciate the help!!
