Hi Guys,
I have all the equipment and ready to start upgrading my OEM Bose sound system, but I need someone expert knows about how the OEM Bose system works.
Mine is 2009, I am planning to totally remove the 2 Bose amps (under the seat and in the amps compartment) and use a sound processor to replace what the Bose is doing, I understand that there is only 4 signals coming from the head unit to the Bose amp and then its synthesised to get all those 11 speakers to work, so theoretically, a sound processor will do what the Bose amps doing.
My list:
Now my questions are:
-Is it possible to take the 4 signals from the head unit directly to the processor? so I can totally remove the OEM Bose amp.
-Or I have to stick with the Bose amp and from there connect the wiring outputs from the OEM amp to the processor?
The reason I am asking cause I heard a lot of installers a while a go saying that if I remove the OEM Bose amp there will be no sound coming from the head unit at all, and I have to keep the OEM Bose amp to have fully functional and controllable sound system!!
Attached some work shop manual showing the wires I can use from the head unit and another one from the OEM Bose amp along with a diagram of the my plan.
Thanks all in advance

My list:
-JBL MS 8 Sound Processor
-JBL MS-A1004 x 2
-JBL MS-A5001
-Hertz ML 70 Center
-Hertz 3 way HSK 165 Doors (tweeter and mid ranges fabricated in the A pillar) and will be using the Hertz x-over
-Hertz HCX 6x9 Side Rears in custom fabricated location
-Herts HCX 86 Rear Shelf (parallel with the 6x9)
-Hertz E200.5 Subs x 2 (parellel)
-CAD Designed adapters and 3D printed using ABS plastic
-Subs Box will be made using MDF (like many people already did) in stock location
-Each amp and the processor will be installed with the specified fuse as in manual
-Speakers, Subs, earth and power wiring each will have a specific wire gauge and all are oxygen free to get the best result (hopefully)
Now my questions are:
