Default Bucket to bench swap, now no rear speakers.

After doing some searching, I have found that this a hurdle that all run into with this swap.

I couldn't find any resolution to the issue though. So any input/help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

My truck comes with the Bose sound system, and to my understanding when you take out the back seat radio controls (which are removed when the center console is taken out).

What I need to know, is which wires will need to be spliced to regain a fully functioning audio system.

ok now i understand. Well if you take the whole console out, then you loose the whole soundsystem. The guts of the BLOSE radio are in the console. I'd go aftermarket radio. Unless you can relocate all that stuff somewhere els, including the BLOSE sub; they system will sound real thin w/ out the sub.

Your bose amp and everything is in the console. When you have bose your speakers are powered by this amp and not the raio, so if you don't put that amp back in then you will have to run an aftermarket radio

I have everything moved and the wires ran to the sub/amp etc. Everything is plugged in and no loose connections or anything.

My question is can I wire the back speakers to the front ones to allow them to work or no?

Do you still have the RSE control, and is there an empty plug for it in the harness you moved? If so just plug it back in and hide it as well.

I would not recommend wiring the back speakers to the fronts.

No, there is no plug for the RSE controls.

Would I be able to take the wires and wire them to the actual back speakers themselves or am I SOL?

Sorry, I'm pretty new to the audio side of things.

if you wire the rear speakers to the front it will drop the 2ohm speakers down to about 0ohms, not a good idea.
