My bad... it threw me when you labeled his stereo as an aftermarket and just said you replaced yours...I just figured you put in a new bose HU and speakers...plus I lost a few brain cells trying to read the rest of the thread

hmmm I'm thinking maybe the voltage of his stereo maybe higher than yours...I've noticed that by changing head units...from a 2volt to a 4volt preamp...
