I know a lot of people just splice in a line out adapter to their car's wiring harness...but I hate tearing up the factory harness and I like quality parts in my car

This guy plugs in between the factory head unit and the harness to give line out and remote power signal.

Enjoy!

 

nice, but i don't mind hacking wires up at all, just as long as it looks clean afterwards.

 

just two channel?

 

I never use fade so I may just use it to source all 6 channels.

 

true, but i like fade

are you just going to split the two amped outputs to all the speakers? bridge them? how does this work exactly??? what about impedance problems???

Thanks

 

Well, if I use this particular adapter without adding a second line out adapter, I'll probably run two pairs of tweeters off the head unit, then run a pair of RCAs to the back, split them to the 4 channel amp, then run a crossover RCA to the sub amp.

I'm also thinking of using a pair of custom 2 channel amps and electronic crossovers I built to run the tweeters. Otherwise I've already built passive xovers with excellent components for my Vifa mids/tweets.

We'll see how it sounds. I love the Vifas...going to try a less expensive sub this time (used a JL 10w3 in my Civic).

My main reason for using the stock HU is that theft is a big problem where I work..plus it already plays MP3s which is usually my main reason for replacing a factory HU.



Also, on impedence, years ago when I built my first "good" car system I used a 4 channel Hifonics amp to run all my speakers. My fronts and rears were bridged on the amp's front channel to give 2 ohms, and the rear channels on the amp were bridged to 4 ohms running a JL (10w0 I think? Long time now...). Sounded nice and didn't cost a lot.

Wow, that's a long post!

 

ahhh i see, you are still using a 4channel, just splitting the inputs

ok great, thanks for the informative post
