Hey guys i've been checking around and cant seem too find what i need. IS it possible to install a aftermarket sub with a factory HU? IF so where would and which wires do i contect too the HU to go to the amp and sub? IS there a post on this already?

Plz someone help! I have a 06 tC ANYONE?

 

bump!

 

yes

 

Yes, it is possible, you need a Line Out Converter (LOC) to hook into the back of the head unit. If your just doing subs you only need a 2 channel LOC.

The wiring harness for the stock headunit is here The Scion FAQ

Any other questions?

 

oh okay Great! now just couple things so I take it theres a line out connector in the factory HU right? or do I splice into other wires? by the way where could I find those converters LOC?

THANX A WHOLE LOT GUYS!

 

The LOC will come with 4 wires (if you have a 2 channel) A positive and negative for the Right channel, and positive and negative for the Left channel. The instructions for the LOC will tell you which is which.

Use the wiring harness from my other post to figure out which wires you need to tap into. I suggest using the rear left and right speaker wires to tap into, thats what I have off of mine and I'm using the stock head unit too. (For now....)

As for the LOC im using the
SCOSCHE - LOC80 - 2-Channel Adjustable Lineout Converter
Audio Outfitters

 

exactly like he said, i went into the FAQ thread here and it tells you exactly what wires do what. it took me just over an hour to install a sub in the trunk. the dash comes apart super easy. the interior panels come out extremely easy, overall this is the easiest stereo i've ever done and it sounds awesome.

 

Shorty, moving this to the Ice & interior forum where subs and such are discussed.

 

(its even easier if you happen to have the wiring from the VSE bazooka sub it takes the wires all the way to the back so you dont need to mess with the radio at all. everything you need is taken to the trunk. did a whole amp and 10" sub in less than an hour.)

 

well Guys thanx awhole lot for the help... I'm going to get the LOC today at the shop. and hooking some stuff maybe today if not this weekend for sure. I just hope I get the right stuff.

one more thing after connecting the LOC does it connect to RCA`s then go to the amp?

Well thanx again everyone! I appreciate it!

 

yup
