i have a 97 si...alpine 6 cd changer..all stock.....now i want to install a sub without getting a new head unit right now...is that possible, will the stock head unit pick up low frequencies or no? let me know if u know, that wud be great thanx

 

r u hooking up an amp??? r u going to try and hook it up to the stock unit as a speaker?

goto any car audio place they have a splitter which u splice into your speaker wire, and the it outputs it an rca connector..

 

..

 

little more details, thanks

 

ok heres the setup....alpine mrpm 350 amp ...and then a jlaudio v1v2 13 inch sub....my head unit is the stock alpine with the six cd changer in the trunk...i want to put my amp/sub into my head unit i think ...if its possible....does that clear it up any?

 

Are you talking about running RCAs? The only way to run RCAs on a stock deck is to buy a RCA inverter that splices into your rear speakers.

 

You need a line level adaptor. Any car audio shop will have it.

 

now is there a difference between a line level adapter and the rca inverter

i hate to sound like a noob but im just tryin to get some insight on this

 

wait nevermind i think i just found my answer....i found whats called a clean sweep...oem audio interface with automatic digital EQ......sound good????

 

A clean sweep is by JL Audio and will work but for what you need a little overkill. All you need is a simple line output conveter go to your local car audio shop and they will have it.

 

sweet....thanks again for your help

 

its not an RCA inverter

it is simply called a LOC or (line output convert) it takes the speaker level (higher voltage) and reduces it down to LINE LEVEL which is preamp voltage (around 1-4v) depending on how good the unit is.

Check out any of the affiliates for the unit.

Happy day.

 

I have one of those units, if you pick it up its free just pm me
