wiring in sub amp to factory stereo

i want to wire in a sub amp(2 channel in stereo mode)into the factory stereo. what would be my best choice for a line level converter, can i tap into the rear speakers? can i keep the rear speakers fuctional?gcorrea

its a 2005 chevy malibu, new body style.thanks.gcorrea

a lot of amps come with high level inputs so depending on the amp you may not need one. scoache makes some good ones if you need one. and yes you can tap into the rear speakers and keep them fuctional. some dont like my arc-audio  so i use a mtx 202 for my high level input in my wifes car.

you mean scosche thats the site for you go take a look around if you cant find the line converters let me know and ill give you the link directly to the page with a selection of them and then choose what works best for youPaulp.s good luck

what you need is a line out converter. hook it up to the head unit signal going to the rear speakers. your going to need a 12v source for the remote turn on. i am going to do the same thing for my moms car a vw pasat.Want to know some good equipment- JL,Adire Audio,Mcintosh,Brax,Helix,Eclipse,JBL,RE,Dimoand Audio,Zapco, pritty much anything DYhon,Forbidden recommend

On the12volt you give some info and you get in

the remote turn on is the easy part, choosing which converter, well....gcorrea

gcorrea if you need help choosing which is best for your application let me know what your aim is and ill help you figure out which might be better for you if youd like i think your best bet is Part Number: LOC80 it might be better but im not sure take a look there 2 of them id reccomend the other is Part Number: LOC500B look at both  tell me what you think im watching the thread closly so ill try and reply asapPaul

also take into consideration that when "tapping" into the rear speakers using a LOC you may get an echoing effect.  If this happens use a diode on either the positives or negatives of the LOC.  It wont matter which way the cathode stripe is facing as long as it is the same on both speaker lines.

did the dealer search and i have one about 2 miles away, which would you recommend using. all im doing is adding a two channel amp (old coustic amp 460) rated at 100 watts rms per channel in stereo mode to push a pair of 12 inch fosgate punch z subs rated at 150 rms. 4 ohm stereo.gcorrea

Part Number: LOC80 i think is your best bet basicly for ease of installation and if you do it right your rear speakers will still be functional and run your subs at mono not stereo they dont hit  evenly if you have them in stereo i learned that on here and i experience it they hit much better in mono
