I am working on a brand new 2005 Ram 1500 and the customer wants a RF amp installed with a seperate High level converter. When you turn the vehicle on the deck volume will be completly turn right down and the subs still play the music at like 3 quarters volume. So if you turn up the deck to 3 quarters they will match up with the sub woofer. This makes no sense to me. The deck does not change the volume of the subs, they are just loud all the time. The high level converter doesnt have adjustable levels and the amp gain is turned down fairly low. Any Ideas here. The truck is a Rumble Bee edition.

That sound system is a fixed level signal. Meaning the radio sends the audio signals at a fixed level, and then the amp does the volume controls interanally, the radio is basically just a key pad. You will need to connect the LOC after the amplifier to get volume control for the subs.

ya, thats what I tried after I made the first post but the signal is excessivly week. I guess I may have to try to find a high level converter with a line amp built in. Thanks though

Something doesn't sound right? If your going after the amplifier you should have plenty of voltage to drive that amp....now if the amp is anything like the other older chrysler amps. ...then it has built in crossovers. If thats the case you may have hooked up your LOC to the High frequency driver outputs instead of the low frequency outputs. This would give you the symptom of low signal because the amp is high passing the output signal.

I would try to find a different LOC that is adjustable.....(the ones that are not are usually a 5:1 Ratio and just sucks) then make sure your tied in where the woofers are getting there signal.
