I'm fairly new to the forums. I want to install 1 4x100W amp to 1 sub and 2 components speakers. I've read that I need to buy a LOC if I want to keep the stock head unit in order to get the RCA outs that I desire. I have 2 questions...

1. Can someone recommend a good quality LOC (brand and model number)?

2. Where can I buy it in the bay area, CA area? I live in San Jose. Or can someone recommend a URL I can go to to purchase it.

Thanks.

 

I bought a high to low level converter for like $15 . You put it to any speaker in the car and it gives you a line level(RCA) signal. I put it to my sub signal because it was the easiest and it was only 6 inches away from my system. I am happy with how it turned out. Oh yeah dont get the ****ty radio shack one, it blows and i took it back the next day and went to a real audio store.

Thanks for the input acuraracer!

 

No way dude! Its called a line level converter. Meens it brings the signal to line level.

Spend the money and get the Monster Cable converter. Really worth the money...it will give you a much cleaner signal out of your head unit. If I am not mistaken, they retail for around $70-$100.

 

Hi Stylin Silver Sled. Thanks for the suggestion.

Do you know if the Monster Cable Converter is the converter that I can put next to the head unit? The reason is, if I'm going to buy an amp, I don't see the reason why the Bose amps should still be running, like with the Audio Link Line Level Converter.

Does anyone have suggestions on a converter that connects to the head unit without the Bose amps? Thanks!

 

I was just reading it and before I thought you were someone else. I swear I thought it said "Thats for the input acuraracer!" Did not even see that is said thanks. Sorry man.

Email ron@streeteffectz.com. I bought a P.I.E. brand 4-channel LOC. You need the kind with speaker-level inputs and RCA outs so you can splice you eight Bose spkr wires to the LOC.

 

you wouldn't have to ask all these smart questions if you figured out how to use the SEARCH funtion properly, genious. THis topic has been extensively covered at several times in the past.
