A guy at a car audio shop told me they could do this job for $622! I just ordered my amp kit, converter and clips for $70 bucks. Great video!

Bro you just saved me a buncha money. Thank you. I’m about to add some subs to my old benz and desperately needed this video so thanks again💪🏻

Out of all the videos on KZfaq on line output installations this is by far the best and we’ll explained.

Dude i watched the whole video before i realized you got the same amp i just bought lol got it for $40 at a pawn shop has pretty good reviews and your video is helping me set it up exactly lol

This video was a lifesaver. I installed my first car sub recently and this video explained basically everything i needed to do. What wires are what and where to hook them up.

This is the best video I've watched. I watched videos that made this so complicated. Thanks bro

Damn bro I didn’t think it was that simple, gotta 2015 Chrysler 200s and I wanted to put my subs in there but now I see how simple it is. Appreciate the video

This is hands down the best video for explaining this

Omg I’m illiterate when it comes to this and I now know how to connect the line output thank you

Best video ive seen so far explaining it

To be honest this is a good video straight simple to the point Good clear directions and I was actually wondering if you could hook the remote of that to the amps remote and negative and positive and you just showed here that you can. Great video

Damn this is the easiest way to do the install on my factory head unit, thanks dude.

Best video I have seen. I watched other videos all day trying to understand what you explained so easily. I actually get it now.

Finally a great tutorial on how to do this

This video was especially helpful for me because we have the same exact Amp lol. Thanks for the info.

Thanks bro you did a perfect job on explaining

Yo thanks your video did help alot. I just finished putting back my stock steeeo bcause my new stereo turned off. I did not know how to connect that but now i know how thanks my system sounds great.

Just did it earlier my guy was pretty damn easy thank u 💯 ✌🏿

been looking where to put yellow wire this is the only video that explains that!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER. IF YOU WERE AT THE U I WOULD SCORE 100% IN YOUR CLASS... I AM ABOUT TO BUY THE AMP AND THE SUBWOOFER AND THE LOC. ALWAYS WANTED TO NOT TOUCH THE FACTORY UNIT, NOW WITH THESE TUTORIAL I FELL I DONT NEED TO PAY EXTRA FOR INSTALTION I WOULD DO IT ALL MYSELF... ANY SUGGETION OR CHALLENGES YOU THINK I MIGHT FACE?? THANKS ALOT AHEAD OF TIME. YOU KEEP IT UP

Easy and simple... thanks!

THE BEST VIDEO ON LOC'S PERIOD.

Dude great video

Great video literally I’m a speaker guy just bought a new car so I was like damn I can’t add it after watching this Ik how to now .

thanks to your video i actually now understand how it works! thank you, i guess ill have to get some more speaker wire and do it via the rear door speakers as my car doesnt have rear rear speakers

To clear up the remote wire wonders.. this works just like the amp. It gets CONSTANT power from the same constant power the AMP gets. When the radio plays music, the LOC detects that sound input and makes a SIGNAL output for your amp to know when to turn on. The amp only turns on when the rear speakers have power. The only parasitic draw there will be, is from the LOC itself which is comparable to a few LED diodes, not an issue unless the vehicle is parked for weeks and weeks. Great video!!

🙏🏾 explained very well

man out of all the videos yours was the easiest to follow thank you.

Yup that’s good for me thanks bro

Bruh thank you so much I didn’t know what to do with the ground and power didn’t think about just to plug it in my amps power and ground😂

Man I watched this when I put my system in my car a month ago bro 😎

I have a question, when you turn your car off does the amplifier turn off with the radios or do you have to unplug the amp to get it turned off?????

I was looking for a easier way to do this thank you

I'm watching this again bro, damn it looks so easy.

Thank you so much 💜 I did mine to day no problem at all and it also turns off with I turn the car off love it can u make one of doing tint also 😊

Don't you need to run the yellow wire to an accessory power? If not your power is going to consistently run the whole time and the amp will never turn off?

this video explains it perfectly

T splices for taping into your door speakers works well in the newer silverados

Do I still use the left/right speakers if I have a factory sub or hook both left/right to the subs positive/negative? Chrysler 200 as well but have the Alpine premium system and looking to add my type S sub with enclosure and amp

I've installed lots of line out converters but never seen one with the bass control. So hooking up that style converter on a 4 channel amp for all new door speakers will the knob work for the mids and highs the same way or have you tried it before?

so if i have the remote wire already connected from the radio , do i need the converter still? for the rca cables

do i need to wire the LOC to a left and a right speaker or can i just go to one speaker?

My active subwoofer have high level input, should i use a line output converter to have a better input signal?

How do we know for the rear speakers which wire is positive and which is negative?

My wife has a 2020 Kia forte Lxs and she wants to run a sub in the back I have all of the stuff to do it I even ordered a wire harness that plugs directly into the factory radio and from then on it plugs directly into the factory wire harness so you do not have to splice any wires and with it has a line out converter and a remote control blue wire. On eBay it was like $31 and it's basically plug and play for that part of it. The power wire and blue remote wire and RCA has to be ran through your panels and then panels snap back in place The only hard part was trying to find a location to run the power wire through on the firewall but once I figured that out it was all simple. The power wire was the hardest to be honest. Even if it did not include a blue remote wire you can always hook up your blue remote wire to a fuse in the fuse box for accessory or radio itself. I hooked my blue remote wire in my truck to the stereo fuse in the fuse box so when I turn on my truck the amp turns on. Very simple just a little bit time consuming.

Should we do an inline fuse in between the amp and the yellow wire?

You should have fused the constant live with a lower amp inline fuse. Something goes wrong. It will just burn on the main cable.

Lol I'm on a hold gotta drill a hole for ground then it's smooth sailing from there. My avenger will hopefully have some slamming bass when I'm all done fingers crossed hahah🤞

Best video 🔥🙏 so I can do this on my 2018 Ford Focus ? And I don’t have to take out the factory radio to do any wiring? Obviously the sub amplifier you power it to your battery and run the ground so that’s it right?

Get that work in 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾I don’t hear no shots out though 🤣🤣

Do you have to run the white and blacks to door speakers or can you just butt them off?

Bro thank u so much

Can you help me ? My sister wants me to install sub for her. I’ve done it before but not on car with stock radio but I see it looks super easy long as she gets a line out converter. It’s for a 2018 Ford Focus. So all I do is install sub amp hook the power from it to car battery and run the ground ? Then put it in line out converter, hook right and left speaker wires from converter into rear speakers then plug the remote wire power wire and ground wire from converter into sub amp? Then plug RCA cables from converter to amplifier. Am I missing anything?

Hey man, everytime I hook my LOC into the ground and positive it cuts off, but will work with the ground wire seperated, do you think im having a ground issue? also my subs cut off when driving. Will play with vehicle turned off. but when driving it cuts off

So do I have to put them on the rear doors? I only have one speaker in the back and it’s a sub. I can’t just connect them to factory call sub.

I have a huge issue though the wires coming with my LOC are very short and I only have speaker wire so how to I connect the yellow and black to the amp if It’s short just go directly to the amp or can I just a piece of split speaker wire to run it? I need help assp

I got a question, if I have two amps. Do I need to converters or how do I do? Or is there some sort of hub I can buy to connenct the converter to and amps?

Could you still bridge it to only one positive and one negative..would it still work..mean I have my subs briged so I got one negative and one positive...???

Hey man, i didnt understand too well the part that says output on the loc, where do i connect those wires?

Will that power all speakers tho or do I need another amp to my other speakers

Does the bass knob work with a line out converter?

Very informative. Are you running power from car battery to your amp?

Confused on the yellow and Blue. Pretty sure you’ve got the blue wire going straight from LOC to amp correct? Then the yellow wire to the power used for the amp. Is this correct? Seems like the blue wire would need to turn on somehow.

Thank you!!

If I’m using only one powered sub why do I need to tap into both right and left speaker and use both rca jacks when I can just tap into 1 side to get signal and only use one rca that goes from my inverter ?Is it so I’m picking up the bass from both right and left ??

I need it 😩😂

Hey. Can I use that for active subwoofer alpine SWE-815? I dont have factory rca in my radio

Would this work for a power subwoofer,now the power subwoofer does have high output but not doesn't say were to connect the blue to n some people say tap into the ignition fuse but i definitely dont want to do that to a van iam still making payments on any advice,i was looking at rocckford p300-10

Hi not getting any sound saw your video so thought would have a go amp does power on but no sound coming out of sub

What wire did you use to extend the little loc wires? I’m stuck on that part. Please help

I have a 250w road gear 2-channel mosfet amplifier. My subs will not power on anymore and I believe I have all of the LOC wired correctly in my amp but I am confused on the yellow power cord. Where do i connect my power cable that is connected to my battery if the yellow cord on the LOC is connected to the +12v power connector per the instructions on the website I bought it from. It is a recoil RCA Line output converter if that helps any

Does it have to be both rear speakers or just one ?

Thanks for the video, I just got the same loc, just so I understand, the remote line on the loc is drawing the on and off from the speaker? I’ve seen other guys in other videos still run the remote from their amp all the way to a fuse. No need to do this? Just run the remote wire to the amp and no where else?

Where did you run your remote wire? I have a 2015 MKZ that I’m getting ready to do this on. Thank you

If you don’t have rear deck speakers and I have to access the rear door speakers is there a way to do it before the wiring passes through the door, like can you access it in the pillar somewhere?

So as long as the LOC has a +12v connection the rem is good.? Dose that just work for the LOC you have iv been tryin figure out were to hook this up with out tapping in the fuse box i have the Adjustable line output converter with volume knob Metra Model: WM-LOCKN

Quick question I got the kicker version of this loc which has the remote wire. But my question is, is it OK to tap into the stock OEM subwoofer connection? Is it too much power for that little device or will it be OK? It’s the stock amp and subwoofer plug in the back of the mega cab behind the seats . Just because it’s easy to access is why I’m asking.

I just did a install exactly like this. Any idea why I would be getting interference when I close my driver door? The sub works just fine when the driver door is open but as soon as it gets closed the sub starts to pulse and hum. Any feedback would be appreciated thank you.

Can I hook the LOC wire straight to the speaker or should I splice into the wire that's already connected to the speaker

I have a Hyundai Palisade 2022 that I want to maintain the factory head unit but I wanted to swap out speakers. I have some JBL's that are 2.3 ohms, but the factory speakers are 4 ohms. Will this hurt the factory head unit and will the JBL speakers work okay? Or should I just get a set of 4 ohm speakers like the factory?

Won’t it create more load on those tiny wires? Do we need thick wires or these tiny wires can take the load? Did you found any issues so far like sub cutting off in between?

When you did rear deck speakers does that mean any rear speakers cuz I have rear door speakers and I don't wanna tap into my head unit would that still work??

How did u find the positive and negative?

Can u install a high low converter on aftermarket stereo that has a bad RCA input

Is the power always on to the amp with one of these or does it have a remote shut off when it detects no signal from the deck speakers?

Don’t you still have to run a remote to the radio? Or will the adapters act like it’s part of the radio and only cut the amp on when the vehicle is on?

Any recommendations on a radio that has the Google Play store where you can download apps on

Can you run that off of your stock subwoofer harness

What speaker wire did you use to connect LOC and deck speakers?

I've got a question? I have New Mercedes-Benz and Don't wanna touch the the radio, Navi, lol on any other car I wouldn't care and have. But this car already has the Bsst 14 speaker Burmester Sound System, doesn't get much better. My worry is I've never tried one of these cheap boxes to tap into my my rear deck speakers, I mean how does one of these compare to using A nice Deck with RCa PREOUTS?

so does that amplify the rear speakers as well.....I have a factory amp in car that amps all the speakers. jus wanted louder so if I add that LOC to rear speakers and run aftermarket amp and sub will it amplify the rear speakers with factory amp and or aftermarket amp ? I prolly don't wanna send 3000 watts to rears only to sub ya kno.....thanks again

So after i hook my LOC to my rear deck speakers and the amp power/ground/remote, am i done? Nothing needs to run to the actual radio? All the videos i watch, they are splicing the wires with the factory wires behind the radio. Been having trouble for days now because i can’t find a wiring diagram for my specific car

Thanks bro

Once the LOC is installed and the RCA cables run from the LOC to the amp, where do the speaker wires run from and to?

What if you a have factory rear sub exposed in trunk?

Hey buddy, I attempted this last night but the bass was so poor. For some reason the aftermarket amp was not powering the subs. I didn’t connect to the rear deck speakers. I connected to we’re the original sub was of the car . ( Toyota Aristo ) . .. I have power/ground and remote all working good . Any idea how I can fix it ?

Where did you get your extension wires? And how did you install them?

I have everything wired like that, and my subs have been working great for a while. I replaced my battery and they continue to work fine. Then I accidentally pulled out loc's remote and ground wires from amp. I put them back in and now my amp turns off when I turn car on and turns on when car is off. My subs are also picking up vibration when the car is off, like when I close the doors. My battery is draining too.

I did the wiring as you suggested and it works but the light on my amp doesn’t turn off. Where could I add a toggle switch

Does it matter what amp kit you get like i got yesterday the 100 watts amp kit.. i got a 05 malibu and kicker(1) 12 comp with a alpine amp
