- CX5
Im guessing this may not work with 2017 CX5 as the 2017 has a center speaker. It may work but minus the center speaker.

Our Bose system has a 9" woofer in our front doors which was why I used the front outputs. I did try both the front output and the rear output and it didn't seem to make a difference.
For the input levels, if you look at the first very picture of this thread you can see the 4 four holes where a screw driver can be used to adjust the gain.
You can try screwdriver or Philips screwdriver.What do you use to turn it though?
The center hole is not a philips, it is an "arrow" just to indicate where the potentiometer center contact is. Yo need a flat screwdriver to turn it.
Got this done yesterday. Sure enough you need a micro flat head to turn the inner part where the arrows are. Turned all 4 to the max using corner of a normal flat head then retuned my amp. Usually used the 40hz @ 0db Rockford track but went with -5db this time. Either way it's much louder now that the input gain is up even if it's just a bit. The bass is much more impactful. I'm full satisfied. No roll off either. Maybe bc it's straight from the back of headunit and not the other connection

I wouldn't max out the line converter, this could cause clipping of the signal if you set it too high (distortion).
Just finished my install, sounds great! Two things I noticed:
1) there is definitely a fairly high cutoff, that feels like it's around 50-60hz. Unfortunate but still gives that extra bump I craved.
2) Has anyone noticed with the PAC AOEM that the radio reception is poor in places you usually have good reception? In my driveway I usually get normal quality and down the road the HD signal kicks in. Now in my driveway I get static and a little bit of buzzing in the background...
