Line output converter

[Babaganoosh]

In my 09 I'm looking to add a amp onto my existing factory head unit. From my understanding is this just plugs into the factory harness and I just run the RCA's to my aftermarket amp. If this is not a "plug and play" setup can someone explain it?

Nope, if you are sticking with the stock stereo that is what you need.

If your truck is on that list, it should be fine!

 

[Babaganoosh]

Ok thanks guys, I guess I just needed to hear it to believe it.

I used basically that same thing in a 94 Camaro that my buddy had, they work well, although an aftermarket stereo is obviously going to be less stuff behind the dash.

Damn that is expensive! Do you have Bose? If not you can go a cheaper route http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_18165_Axxess+ALOC608.html

Thats what we use at my shop for lower price installs. All you would have to do is wire it up to the rear speakers and then run your RCAs

 

[lak2004]

Left Rear Speaker (+/-)=brown - yellow or brown/white - brown
Right Rear Speaker (+/-)=dk. blue - lt. blue or dk. blue - tan

 

[Babaganoosh]

The reason I chose the more expensive route is so it's plug and play and wouldn't need any splicing or tapping into existing factory wiring.

But I'm all ears for other options.

 

[lak2004]

Yea the plug and play is nice. I install either the ones I pointed out or powered converters which will convert the signal to 10volts.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Oh and to answer your question I don't have bose.

The pac piece is going to sound better then then a high to low converter.. and yes its just un plug your radio, plug that into the pac harness n plug the pac harness into your radio... Id recommend buying a new radio though...

 

[Babaganoosh]

I 100% agree but can't justify the 500 bucks.

 

[Babaganoosh]

This might be a goofy question but I don't know.

When using this and hooking up 4 speakers could I tap off one of the lines and add a 1 channel output converter for a sub? If I did that wouldn't the sub be playing the same stuff as my other 4 speakers?


I should just dish out the 500 and be done with this confusing converter.

 

[lak2004]

Why $500 for a deck? What are you looking at?

 

[Babaganoosh]

Well I figured if I'm going to replace it I "might as well" go with a double din. I really don't need a dvd player but maybe some day down the road when I upgrade to a crew cab.

Let me see what I can do for a good price for you when I get to work tomorrow. Ill look up some of the double dins we have and see what i can sell them for

 

[Babaganoosh]

Awesome, that would be very much appreciated.

I really am open for anything, I have been sitting on these speakers for months on end waiting to find the correct pieces to put it together correct the first time.

I went with polk audio mm521

and mm6501.

You don't have a dedicated sub output on that converter, so just daisy chain the sub amp with whatever other amp you have. Then, set your sub amp crossover properly to isolate the sub's frequency response to the sub.

Why not really complicate things and get an OEM integration unit like the Rockford Fosgate 360, JL Audio Cleansweep, Alpine Imprint, etc.

This way you could actually use all the channels from your factory head unit and have true front/rear/sub output controls. Not only that but you can do a lot with their software via bluetooth devices, Palm handhelds, etc.

You just had to do it... LOL I think I will go with the above lineout converter for the time being until I can set aside the needed money for a replacement head unit.
