The CleanSweep can easily be hooked up out of phase, which will make the entire system sound like complete sh*t. All it would take is one + and one - to be crossed and you are finished. Since the OEM wires that you would tap into are not clearly marked what is what, often people just guess. I did a little research on where the equalization takes place in the Armada Bose system. It takes place in the amplifier and with that being said, as long as you tap the signal inbetween the head unit and amp, you will get an unaltered signal going to your aftermarket amps. The PAC Audio LOC works well, and is what I use because it provides 4 channel fading outputs to hook up to external amps...
