How To | Wiring Subs To A Factory Radio | Line Output Converter

[@trilbeatz4370]

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!

[@Mermasora]

70 bucks?! Even that is overpaid, to be honest

[@poopleleakedmyinfototheaft6826]

Dont be a hater cuz he found a better price. I ordered the complete wiring kit with grommets connectors nice speaker wire and a kicker LOC all for the lovely Amazon price of 16.90 + 32.98 and it was on my porch in 3 hours.Shoulve seen my husbands face when he woke up from baseball nap i mean watching the game and I had his sub system installed for 50 bux when he was pouting cuz we dont have an extra 500 like he was quoted for install. For orginal response good shopping my friend. For new to online shopper: finding awesome prices on Prime does not equate to cheap shit 100% of time. It's an art practice it and your wallet will thank you. I save tons and only have hassle of returning cheap shit about 10% of the time. After 2 years i have failed to be denied a refund

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.

[@DopaSlides]

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!!

[@JoeySkoots27]

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

Can u explain

[@brownieboy9510]

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.

[@josephbragg1162]

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.

[@roywiegner5522]

[@TheCanineGuy]

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.

[@Bluewater001]

Best video ive seen so far explaining it

[@junky9]

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?

[@timothyhergert4199]

I don’t think so because if you have a power cord to your amp going to the bsttery than it shuts off when you turn your car off. You don’t even need to use the remote ground or yellow power wire from the converter. It’s not really needed. I’ve seen many people not use em

[@maxstewart5575]

You have to get a amp capacitor or it will start to kill your battery, even when the car is off

[@slow_rednline4874]

​@maxstewart5575 nobody uses those who knows anything about car audio 😅

[@DopaSlides]

No, the amp only turns on when a signal is sent through the rear speakers (only when radio is on and playing music) the LOC itself may have a small draw tho. It should only be using energy, when there's music coming from the speakers.. so it's shouldn't be anything crazy. I'm installing mine in a few hours, time to see if I get dead battery's now like many think will happen 💪

Power and ground are 80% never needed for a loc unless you hear engine noises coming from your speakers then you will need to ground the loc to the vehicles chasis not directly to your amp !!! The shorter the ground wire is the better results you will get , Premium or non premium systems should not make a difference on a loc check your wires make sure your amos ground is firmly bolted to the chasis check your loc speaker connection you might have tapped into the tweeters instead of the actual speakers I hope This helps

[@percymagee4359]

Thank you for replying

[@mantejwalia8660]

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?

[@moderatemods98]

My wires are not for high output amps , but with my set up they work fine and no no cuff offs or any problems like that !

[@elliotlaw1590]

the main loads are on the amps positive and negative wires, which are thicker anyway, the line into the LOC is the same loads as the standard speakers run off, hence why just standard speaker wire is plenty enough, then after your amp or sub depending on what your wiring, is where the higher loads will be, so if you have an amp to a passive subwoofer for example, but then you dont need to worry about the loads so much because the RCA output on the amplifier feeds a signal to the passive sub, and RCA cables which come with your amp or sub will be more than capable of handling the higher loads anyway

[@chrisbaltierra6331]

So do you connect speaker wires to both rear door speakers or just one side ?

[@moderatemods98]

Both bro

[@_beastmode_rc]

@@moderatemods98 what happen if I connect just the left side will it still work

[@plugger410]

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?

[@moderatemods98]

If you have rear speakers in the door, there should be a channel that the wires for those speakers run through, run your wires through that channel for a hidden clean look

[@ianschreiner4105]

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

[@moderatemods98]

Yes it should be good and all the ones I have felt with it has worked ! I’m pretty sure yours will be okay too bro !

[@miklo5641]

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.

[@brianflack4513]

What happens if we don’t connect left and right speaker wires to the loc? So to say I just hook up my left door speaker only to the loc and not both since I’ll only have one sub running.

[@moderatemods98]

It will give you only left side sub hit bro not an equal bass so I still say do both even if you only have 1 sub

[@freakboinate82]

You need to run off BOTH Left and Right speakers or it won’t sound right!! It doesn’t matter if your running 1 sub or 8 subs you need signal from both sides!!

[@Red_dot_randy]

You just need to hook it up to one speaker, connect both +’s from the loc and both -‘s wires from loc and connect to 1 rear 6x9.

[@KaylynMcCoy]

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

[@quailrobinson7363]

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

[@moderatemods98]

Very welcome bro ! 💪🏽💯

[@percymagee4359]

Did you have to run a remote wire from the fuse to the amp and from the amp to the Loc?

[@leo42003]

So will it work if the vehicle has a factory separate amp to the vehicle? 🤔

[@moderatemods98]

Yes it will!

[@leo42003]

@@moderatemods98 What if it was a factory amp going to the sub that had 4 inputs of positive and negative on both sides on the subwoofer?

[@jfaze401]

The blue wire is connected to the remote on the amp or power

[@themancavenz683]

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

[@donniesmith8493]

I’ve always done it this way but my amp powers up but nothing happens my amp has a 3.5 mm Jack and the one in between the power and ground good video any advice is good ?

[@moderatemods98]

If you need anything let me know bro it may be the speaker wire is reveresed so postivive and ground may be flipped coming from the rear deck speakers !

[@donniesmith8493]

Thank you bro I figured it out i had the speaker wires going into the amp both on - 😂thank you for your reply

[@moderatemods98]

Hell yeah bro glad it’s working man ! I get it those wires tend to get annoying after a while 🤣🥴💯

[@jessehartmann3548]

This isn't working for me I have power to the amp but nothing to the speaker. Tried wiring the output both ways to the rear deck speaker and nothing

[@angelmendoza6580]

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