Sorry Guys I Posted A Pick About This Already, But I Made A Mistake I Dont Have A 6 Way Speaker System I Only Have 4, Front Doors And Far Rear Cargo Area Can I Still Hook Up Amp And My Subs And If So How...

I assume you are talking about hooking up to the factory head unit? Yes you can (as far as I know), you'll just need a line level converter (or two) since the factory head unit does not have rca outs. For the sub you can pick off the back speaker wires.

So The Inline Conv Has Plugs For The Rca, And Where Do You Hook Up The Inline Conv To And Do You Just Tap The Wires From The Subs Into The Back Speakers

You would hook up the speaker wires from the rear speakers to the line level converter, which has rca outs that you would connect to the amp. wire the sub off the amp. Some amps (like Alpine and Kicker) have direct inputs for line level (speaker outs from deck) so a converter would not be necessary. Look around this section of the forum, I'm sure there are lots of setup examples you could use

Yep! Its That Easy. Just Tap Into The Rear 6x9's!

you can tap right off the back speakers you will need to find a wire diagram so you know what is pos and neg they are not marked...this will lead to your converter which will have RCA output...works like a charm

I went over board as of last night I have 13 speakers in the mag need one more.......

Geez where did you stick'm all!!?? I was thinking 13 is an odd number....maybe it's in your ashtray? Sounds like it's gonna rock!

ok up front in the doors I have 6.5" mids, in the dash 3.5" coax, in the pilers 1" tweets
in the back where the old 6x9 were I installed 6.5" mids and 3.5" coax and in the back pilers 1" tweets
cant forget the single 10" sub in the back but I want to change that out and use two 8" subs for that tight bass.....

Do I Tap The Convertor Into Only One Of The Speakers In The Rear and another question what do you guys use to tap into the speaker wire, do you guys know how much the convertor is and what exactly is it called, sorry so many question, dont know much about this

Bigal470 · 05-09-2007, 10:26 AM

I tapped off both the left and right not needed if you are using the amp for a sub low freq doesn't really notice left and right...just ask for line output converter to go from high to low they will know what you need...you can use either splicers, butt connectors, or Solder it up to you
