ok here goes - see if i got this right.

You have 4 outputs from your head unit right. front and rear, but no sub out.

If this is the case buy a splitter that changes the single rear output to two ouputs - curcuit city has them.

run the one output to your to your 4 channel and the other to your sub. use the volume remote off the sub amp, looks like a telephone jack, to control the sub volume. set your gains and HP / LP (60-80 for the sub)so they blend properly.

If your head unit has no pre outs i would recommend looking for a different unit. Those converters are garbage for the most part unless you send big bucks, and replacing the head unit is cheaper.

Hope this helps.

typ thing will work

"If your head unit has no pre outs i would recommend looking for a different unit. Those converters are garbage for the most part unless you send big bucks, and replacing the head unit is cheaper."

 

What I did was use a LOC. and ran those RCAs to a crossover unit. Then those RCA's to your amp.

 

Sorry guy ....i made a mistake ... my 4 way amp have hi level input ..... ok i will run 10 feet of cable ( my head unit to my PS4-800 amp ) .... wich choice you like the most ;
1- Head Unit Hi level to Hi level input Amp
2 - use LOC to connect my head unit to my Amp
