I have read that the amp also powers the door speakers. If so, what LOC would you recommend? I have a bass knob already that connects to the kicker amp that I want to install.
I want to keep the look of my truck stock so I may swap out the stock door speakers, tweeters, and center speaker. If I do so do you think the stock amp will do the aftermarket speakers justice? I was thinking of replacing them with Polk Audio components in the front and coaxial for the back. Hi Rob, Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it! Ah Ford and their lovely Sony system. And they have so many variations! I can understand wanting to keep the look stock. I recently did this in a Subaru with Morel Tempo speakers just did speakers and dynamat off basic stock stereo and was pleasantly surprised at the justice the stock stereo did for those speakers.
How to Wire an Amp to a Sub and Head Unit: 12 Steps
And if you ever did want to change the stereo, keep a look out for Alpine and iDatalink. So in the future there may be some nice options. Does tieing an LOC in parallel to the speaker circuit effect the circuit impedance? I think maybe you just mean running along side with rear speakers operating. So you can and are supposed to have your LOC installed along side your rear speakers. I hope that makes sense!
Next how do i connect the wires in any case?? Do i have to keep the harness plugged into the head unit or do i have to keep it unplugged as i read somewhere you cannot power the speakers from both factory hu and amp simultaneously.. And while feeding the amp output back to speakers n subs we connect speaker wires to each speaker leads, so whats the difference between amp input signal n amp output signal, its confusing me as for eg.
How to wire LED Strips to car audio amplifier!
You can take the speaker leads off the back of the stock stereo and route them directly to your amp. The LOC is your input signal. That is feeding the actual audio signal to the amp. The amplifier amplifies that audio signal and feeds it the speaker output.
Run the power wire to your amp. Cut a length of gauge red wire, a length of gauge black wire and a length of gauge wire, each long enough to reach from the amplifier to the inverter. Hook it to a fuse connected to ignition turn on, like your accessory power fuse. Ah Ford and their lovely Sony system. You would need to use the remote turn on lead from your aftermarket radio usually blue with a white stripe and wire that to the amp turn on lead in the car harness. Now i have nice speakers that i cant turn up loud.
What if I were to tap into the factory speaker wires without the converter by cutting and splicing a rca cord? I think he only does this in cars that have a stock amp and have a direct low noise pre-amp level audio signal. I have an 07 maxima with a Bose amplifier. Should I tap into wires that input into the bose amp or the output wires and which colors. Hey Chris, sorry for the late reply, was busy trying to survive the holiday season at our shop. OnDemand lists black as negative and white as positive on the stock subs.
Other wise, probably behind the radio. Sounds great only one problem when car goes on or off i get an annoying distortion sound on subwoofer. Try switching the source for your remote turn on lead to a different accessory power source. What would work best?
How do you connect a subwoofer to an amplifier?
When in doubt, I would go straight to the stock sub. Where is the best place to hook up a line output converter when adding an amp for a sub? I may have missed it somewhere. Hey Keith, you can grab that signal right at the stock Bose subwoofer. Like a positive one side of sub and negative on other side of factory sub?
The stock amp really is not powerful enough nor designed to run the impedance of your MTX. So definitely get the LOC and a separate amp to power your MTX — you could also get an amp that has the LOC built into it too, but either way definitely just grab your signal from the stock sub, but use that signal to feed a dedicated amp to power your MTX.
I have a ram with premium alpine system. I want to add amps and a sub. The car is canbus equipped. How do I get a clean signal for amps.
How to hook up an amp and sub to a stock stereo.
Anything I add must be tied in post factory amp. I need to clean the heavily processed signals. I will tune via aftermarket amps.
Here's a step-by-step guide to installing a car amplifier, including how to wire the amp and Or, if you're using a line output converter, it's not hooked up right. Next its time to hook up the speaker wire from the sub to amp. In this case the wires are blue. The blue wire with the white stripe is positive and the solid blue is .
Not interested in complicated dsp…. Hi Fred, I feel your pain.

You might want to would wait to see what JL comes up with, but it may be another 9 months or so before they release anything. They talked about this very problem at CES recently and they are in the process of designing a new product which tackles this exact issue.
You can read more about the new JL Audio processor here , scroll towards the bottom of the post. With this processor you also have the option of using a digital aux in so for a dedicated super high fidelity source, you can use an iPod running through a high quality digital to analog convertor straight into the processor. With Audison I had many defective units and it would take months, even over a year in one occasion, to have them repaired or exchanged one of the reasons we stopped carrying them.
Sometimes you really only need to use two audio signals. So whichever route you decide to go, make sure you go to an experienced installer who knows what a frequency sweep is, a scope is, and what an RTA is and make sure he knows how to use them because you really need all three to set up a processor correctly in a vehicle like this. Then when the Fix and the Twk comes out from JL you can clean it up even more. Those will be designed to do the tuning and tweaking themselves, making it a much simpler install. Hey I have a ram pickup with factory alpin system and touch screen deck.
Has factory sub under back seat.. Had 4 wires going to that one sub.. Hi annie i have a question if i am connecting a line out converter on a factory rafio but there are no speakers installed the wires are there and i know which ones are going to each speaker how would i find out polarity on the wires.
Hi there, I just bought a cadillac CTS and I wanted to know if its possible to hook up a sub and amp to the stock stereo,if I can how do I do it?
Of course you can! I would add one clarification to your speaker polarity testing. Thanks for taking the time to post it! For readers that need more details on polarity testing you can check out this video post or this post on wiring up a head unit when the wires have been cut. Hi i just bought a Lincoln mkz. I hooked up a line output converter and when i shut my car off the amp begins to work and apply bass. Im not sure why this is happening i read the directions,followed step by step. Everything works fine when i turn my radio on and off the amp goes off and on….
I got 2 10 inch kicker competition,and a watt power bass amp,stock radio….? Did you run the remote to an accessory or ignition wire in the vehicle so the amp goes on and off with the key? Sounds like maybe you used the signal sensing feature of your line output convertor, they can do funky things like that. Try to find a true accessory or ignition wire to get the timing right. Hello, I just recently purchased a 04 Audi 2. I have a Infinity reference a mono-amp and 2x Infinity Reference w Inch that I used in my previous car and I have all the wiring as well looking to upgrade in the future but its what I have for now: Im thinking this will be a fairly easy task since I have everything except the LOC.
What im wondering is how would I wire the input to the LOC so that I can power both of my subwoofers. The Infinity subs would be wired to your amp just like any other setup. Your only wiring options are running each subs voice coils series, then parallel the subs for a final 4 ohm load or wire the voice coils parallel, then parallel the subs for a final 1 ohm load. That amp is not rated as 1 ohm stable, which means you were probably running the amp at 4 ohms in your last set up.
