I can tell you all the colors of the wires for all the speakers in the car. Let me know what year you have though. I chopped off the bose harness and put on a 12 pin molex connector. On the other side, I mated it to wires that go to the amplifier. It's a quick release type thing.. The wires coming off of the bose amp are surprisingly big. 12 gauge I believe, so I didn't see any sense in running all new speaker wires into the doors and such, so I just used the stock Bose amp speaker wires.

I got a C36 from my friend who cut the harness and let me with the stock bose system but the wirs are cut. Could you please do me a fvor and let me know which color cable connects to the Pin# of the bose Amp?

Thanks and really appreciate your time and effort spent helping me out with this!!! Hopefully with these pin#'s and wire size and color confirmed I won't have to bother you with this anymore.... Look forward to hear from you and hopefully the Bose from my car really want to hear some music...instead of just the engine sound everyday...
