Stock Deck with aftermarket subs, need HELP!

i need some help with my stock deck and aftermarket sub set up
i know that the TL Bose stock deck does not come with the RCA, so i bought a Line converter
i took the stock subs out.. and NOW i don't know how to connect the Line converter...The box says i should connect it to 2 speakers but both speakers are on the doors.. is there another way?

there are 5 wires on the line converter *1 is ground and 4 goes to the speakers*
the other side is the RCA
Where do i connect the 4 speaker wires? can i splice my stock bose connectors(stock Red wire with 2 Line converter wires X2 and ground with 2 stock Black wires??)
i have a visual some it's easier for everyone.




Thanks for any Help and lets get me Boom BOoming around town

i think youll have to take out yoru stock deck. then where the wire harness is you would have to find the 4 wires that lead to the 2 front/or 2back speakers. youll have to find a color diagram for the stock wire harness so you can know which wires lead to wich speakers.

i've already done this. Its difficult to figure out at first, but u take both left and right connectors of the line convertor and connect them to directly to the wires going into the sub. If u look at the sub, there's 4 wires going into it. u have to connect ALL 4, otherwise u wont get proper sound. there are 2 wires going into left and 2 going into right. I connected only two at first, and i got too much deep bass and no thumping bass.

U can either connect them underneath the sub, or connect them where the amp is behind the back seat. Mines beside the amp.

you do not need to use a line output converter.

the stock sub has rca's that you can tap into. See this thread:

It will sound much better this way too.
