^ line output converter

used to adapt your stock hu speaker signal to a low level pre-amp signal. So you can use an amp that doesn't have hi-level inputs.

^^^ Thank you. lol! Just never used one before so I didn't know what it was. How well, does that method work? I'd like to just keep the stock deck in there if that LOC works just fine.

An LOC takes speaker level wires on one side and reduces them to preamp levels for RCA inputs on an amp or processor.

The come from $10 cheapos to a couple hundred bux. I've used the ones from Scosche and Stinger with good success.

If you want to add a highs amp as well as a sub amp use a 4channel LOC like this:

Well, I just have the two channel Rockford 800aII and two subs. Are those easy to hook up the LOC I mean? And do you think the subs will hit with that factory amp? I mean I don't see why they wouldn't but I never used one before.

Do you mean can you get it all to work together? Sure. I would take the rear sidepanel off and add the LOC between the factory highs amp and the factory sub amp.

Beware - the factory highs amp has a built-in high pass on it so don't think you can tap the back door speakers or something. You'll wind up with no bass. You have to grab the signal either between the deck and the highs amp (tough IMO) or between the two factory amps.

Trust me - I had to remove and replace that 14cuft box myself after figuring THAT one out [img]graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]

^ I actually meant factory deck. My bad. I'd use my Rockford amp on the subs, with the factory deck. That is what I meant! [img]graemlins/2xblown.gif[/img]

Oh. Yeah I don't see why not. The one I did could do 149 with a Punch 200 on his 12s which was alright back in the day [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

^^^ Just alright? I think 149 is smoking. Plenty loud if you want to go deaf earlier than planned in life. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Audio Control makes a bitchin LOC in the form of the LC6. This little gadget will allow you to tap a speaker lead or signal lead and convert it to a signal that the LOC can use. It then acts as a line driver and then it's next usefull tool will help you out in the form of a subwoofer level controller. This is a dash mounted volume know for the subs. For system expansion it will also allow another two amplifiers to be integrated as well. Check it out. www.audiocontrol.com

Cars sucks.....I come from a redneck family...trucks rock. What good is a Camaro in the snow?

And, it's pretty easy to get a camaro stuck when you wanna go off roading :D
