I am getting a kicker L5 and a 600 watt kicker amp. What do I need (wiring wise) to hook this up to my factory stereo? It is not a sirius head unit and my system is not the infinity.
Any input would be helpful. Thanks!!

 

A line out converter, or LOC

simple device... uses speaker wiring to create a line-level output (pretty much turns speaker wires into RCA cables). Scosche makes a simple one available for about $12 available in your favorite online jungle.

Simply follow the directions on the package! I spliced mine into the rear speaker wire loom, located under the plastic trim piece between the passenger front and rear door. Amp remote wire can be spliced into the cig lighter that is only active when the car is on

(I'm assuming you know how to wire an amp, you just want to know how to get RCAs wired in)

I have no amp "popping" when turning on, and sub sound quality is on par with an aftermarket head unit. Stock rear speakers will still suck though, but won't be any worse than before you started!

 

I haven't wired an amp in quite a few years. But I think I've got help.

 

Any suggestions for stores that sell the LOC's? I don't want to wait for shipping. I have help on sunday.

 

you can buy the scosche LOC at walmart. they have a similar one at Fry's

probably 12-15 bucks
