Hello,

I have an 03' Silverado. And instead of dealing with all the adapters to defeat the data bus I decided to keep the factory FSR deck and use Hi/Lo a adapter. I put in on the rear outputs to de-couple the door chime, I fade to rear to de-couple audio from the front and I am going to put a little speaker on the frond left output to add door chime to the car. All that sounds doable except when I use my DEI hi/lo adapter it sounds all distorted. I checked phasing and that is ok also. Some back round: The deck is connected to the hi/lo and that is connected to the main input of my Clarion EQS 560 then on to a Fosgate Punch 550 amp. When I connect my mp3 player to the aux input on the EQ it sounds great. And yes I tried connecting the output of the hi/lo to the aux input and it sounds equally crappy. Any help would be great!

May the force be with you always!

Check your gains on the adapter, there should be some really small screws on it some where to adjust it. If there set to hi you'll get distortian.

let me know when you get it all figured out because i have a2003 gmc sierra and i would like to add an aftermarket amp for two subs that i will put under the back seat. do i connect the hi/low converter at the amp under the center councel or behind the radio....also what do you do for the amp turn on wire. (are there amps that sense signal and turn when there is a signal sent to the rca's ) what amp brands have this option???? any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When using the hi/low adapter you need to tap into the wiring going out to the speakers from the amp under the consol. As for the turn on wire, your going to have to tap into the switched key power. By means, your amp will turn on when the key is turned on.

I'm not sure, but I also think that a power attena wire has the proper amount of voltage for a turn on as well. (I don't think that the sierra's even have a visible antenna do they???)
