I believe Cebul has wired the rear speaker output into the Bose wiring loom. Cebul will have to chime in here.

Hi, so in that black box is amp and sub speaker, and that is finished in 4 wire plug. 2 wires - power and ground for amp, and other 2 - sound-bass signal.

Power:
- I took power from front of the car "+", from the power wire for radio, so when I turn ignition on, power going to amp, and that was my mistake, because, everytime when I switch ignition on , for a 3 sek, just before radio will on , sub giving me a terrible loud bass - that happend because whole power going to amp faster than radio is ready to switch on. Correct way to do this is to tke a power for amp from pack of the radio - antena/arial power - ussaly blue wire. If you d this way, power will go to amp only when you switch on the radio.

- Other wire is a ground
Sound/sub signal:
- Simply, I've disconected a 2 wires from one of the rear speackers on the rear shelf and soldred them with two other wires on the sub plug.

so at the moment I have a 2 speakers on the front, one on the back and sub, but one of my mate has the same sub and he has 2 speakers on the front + sub and his audio is quality

Other way, to keep fron and rear speakers and sub is to buy a radio player with active sub output - that should sort that thing.

Hammer and a chizzle for shizzle. Its better when its cold and its brittle. I had some compressed cans of air but i have a proper compressor now and its easier.
When its hot its sticky and messy.

Yer a compressor with a blow blow quite hard (insert sex joke). This will be cold enough to make the tar crap brittle enough to hammer.
Its easy just takes a while.

Needed to say, what you did gave me confidence on working (begin to work, actually) on my Prelude.
My setup is a bit like yours, but with more random components.
Alpine IWA 910 -> audison bitone -> genesis compaq four, dual mono, minusub -> brax matrix 6.1PP, 3.1, brax tweeter nox28, DLS 10" sub. All the stuff for sound deadning comes from Silent Coat and dynamax. The cables are from Tsunami and Audison.
I was thinking putting the meds in the tweeter original location, but that will require a lot of work, and not sure it'll look good. So what you did on the kicks is.. Something I will try.
So really, thanks a lot for all the pics, it really helped me keeping faith.
