i was going to use a line out converter, from the factory subwoofer wires. when i looked at the wires there was a PURPLE , GREEN, BLACK with a Green tracer , and BLACK with a white tracer. so in total there was 4 wires going to the sub. any idea which ones i should splice into in order to conect the converter? -------------

If you can get to the sub, then test for continuity, and pop it. You may have a factory dvc sub.

I don't have my books at home, but if you are trying to tap it at the head unit, then I can tell this: of those 4 wires(seperate 8 pin plug - Right?): there is a signal ground(Chassis), 4 or 5 Volt amp trigger wire, and the other 2 are a mono sub audio (the + and -). Not sure of the signal level in the sub out, you'll probably need a LOC or amp w/spk level inputs. I think I have a diagram of the pinout I can forward on 5/9/05. ------------- Experience gained is directly proportional to the amount of equipment destroyed - break it & learn!

sexyvic1 - I don't have the colors or pinout at the subwoofer itself - the only diagram I have is off the radio harness end. If your going to take the feed off the factory amp, I would follow geepherder's suggestion & test for dvc & polarity. ------------- Experience gained is directly proportional to the amount of equipment destroyed - break it & learn!

Dark GREEN/ violet strip at radio if it has the factory subwoofer connection(8-pin). NOTE - THIS IS A 5 VOLT TRIGGER use a relay or something like a Soundgate TRIGLOHD.
