OK...so after numerous posts trying to figure out the best thing to do with my HU and Bose system, I have a couple remaining questions....seems people go back and forth on this, so here goes:
1. With a Pioneer HU, will the Pioneer HU be damaged by the draw from the speakers (I verified that the speakers are 2 OHM, and this seemed to be a problem for the initial Sony unit I bought.) The person I talked to told me the amp in the HU on the Sony may have been fried because the speakers are 2 OHMs and that was too much for the Sony to handle without an amp.
2. If you had the option of installing a converter so that you don't have to bypass the amp....would you do it? Does it affect anything?
3. Besides hooking up the HU to the wire harness from the car, assuming I use the converter, is there anything else that needs to be done for it to work correctly?
4. The manual of the HU says to not hook up speakers with output or impedance values other than those noted here (4 to 8 ohms). The speakers are 2 OHMs, correct? Wouldn't this be a problem?
Suggestions?
BTW- Anyone live in NW burbs of Chicago by chance?
