Ok guys gettin the tC tonight and I'm wantin to hook my subs up to it tomorro or within the week. Problem is, the tC's HU has no preamp outputs so I need to use my RCA Converter to run it. Someone told me to line out the Converter to the back of the HU but I'm not sure what he means by it. Also I'm a complete noob on foreign car electronics. So if anyone can tell me what I need to do to take the dash off and take out the stock HU and line it in plz post here or pm me. thanx

you can buy a line out converter at

http://www.norcalscion.com/

gutting a tC instructions can be found in our tech section.. or if you see mandos posting around... he should have it in his sig as a link too..

 

alpman over at yoursciontc.com has a nice kit for the tC

 

I have a Hi/Lo converter. $10 shipped if you want it. PM me if interested.

 

If you're going to use an LOC, I have a suggestion. Disconnect your rear speakers, and use your rear speaker wires as the input to the LOC. This will enable you to balance the amplitude of the subs against the front speakers, by using your HU's fader control.

 

I have the converter I just need to know how to line out the HU to it, but now I don't need to since I have to go back to Bert Wolfe and give them the title and talk to them they have a connection thats $29.95 that hooks into the back of the stock HU and the harness has preamp outputs so I'll end up gettin that soon. Thanx for the help though guys. Also I luv my tC!!! Its B E A UUUUUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

Sorry for double-postin but I have the RCA Converter thats what Bert Wolfe told me I needed. Thing is I don't know which whire is positve and which is negative so here's a pic anyone know?

 

Gray = Right positive ( + )
Gray/Black = Right negative ( - )
White = Left positive ( + )
White/Black = Left negative ( - )
Brown = Chassis ground ( - )

Connect the first four to your rear speaker outputs. The brown wire should ideally (per PAC) be connected to the head unit's ground, but may be ok grounded elsewhere. PAC also states that if you get no sound, don't connect the brown wires. Hope this helps, the answer came directly from PAC's website, it just takes a bit of digging.

 

Ok thanx nodsetse I'll try that out in a bit.
