weeznur32 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I am going to do an install in a friends 2002 Yukon XL without bose system or stock subwoofer. I was wondering if there will be RCA outputs in the back of the head unit or if there is any other way to use to the stock headunit on aftermarket amp/sub? Or will I need to buy a new HU? Thanks!

I was wondering if there will be RCA outputs in the back of the head unit or if there is any other way to use to the stock headunit on aftermarket amp/sub? Or will I need to buy a new HU? Thanks! there is a thing called a line output converter. basicly converts the speaker ouputs to rca. really simple.. all you gotta do is run a remote wire for the amp and a set of speaker signals like the rear speakers to that converter. wire it up and bam, pretty simple. if you need more info let us know and we will help Quote Hahah damn cody She ain't that sexy.

weeznur32 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 That sounds easy enough... but will I still be able to run the head unit to all 4 speakers with the line output converter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuRKRoW Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 You will need a High-to-low level converter. It basically converts the speaker signal (high) to RCA outputs (low). You will also need a trigger module (remote turn-on) so that you don't have to manually use a switch every time you want bass (and run the risk of accidentally leaving the amp on when you are done using it). I went ahead and found what you would need to buy and the prices on these are pretty decent.

Dakota Sapinsky Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 No, you will NOT need a new headunit. Check out / google things like Audio control LC6 or JL clean sweep. Ask a local shop about similar products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing is, will I still be able to run the head unit to power all 4 speakers (also planning on replacing speakers). I'm guessing not because I am going to need to connect the high-to-low converter to one of the channels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdub26 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 That sounds easy enough... but will I still be able to run the head unit to all 4 speakers with the line output converter? good question. im interested in the answer. ive never used a line converter, so ive never ran into this.

SR20DAZE Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 to your question you should be able to, from my guess, ive never done it either. but i dont see how the moduel will mess up any speaker wiring to the radio at all as long as everything is plugged in tight Quote Hahah damn cody She ain't that sexy.

MuRKRoW Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) THANKS!

I'm guessing not because I am going to need to connect the high-to-low converter to one of the channels... Yes you will be able to run all 4 speakers. All you are doing is running a positive and negative wire off of each rear speaker (or I guess it could be front speakers too). There will be 2 sets of wires, one set for each channel, and they will need to be connected to both the remote turn-on adapter and the high-to-low converter. It's usually a lot easier if you extend wires off of each adapter because they come with such short wires. The high-to-low converter should have 5 wires coming out of it (white, white-black stripe, gray, gray-black stripe, and black). The black wire is the ground wire and each set of colors is a channel (positive without a stripe and negative with the stripe). I think the white is the left channel and the gray is the right channel, but don't quote me lol. The remote turn-on is a little different. If I remember correctly, it only needs one speaker connection (positive and negative) and the other 2 wires are positive and negative connections to the battery. The adapter packaging usually has some info on what wire goes where and the wire shielding may say as well. I would recommend pigtail connectors and zip ties to keep it organized and make it look nice. The pigtail connectors are simply crimp-on and the zip tie is used about a half inch below the bundle to keep them all together and protect them from being tugged on. Here's a pic of what i'm talking about...
