factory headunit integration?

[genesis]

hey all, sorry if this has been gone over, I've not been into audio for years . I have decided to add a sub to my genesis sedan, but I cannot replace the head unit. what's the hotness in factory integration boxes today? I have no plans to replace the speakers, etc. just want some bass!

thanks

you will have to perform surgery on some wires and tie in a line converter to be able to hook up some RCA's to give a signal to the amp.

I just did it on a G35 coupe on the factory bose system, you have to locate the correct wires, lengthen them then tie in teh converter, soldering everything along the way, and using black electrical tape to be sure everything is very sturdy.

The audiocontrol lc2i is a good one.

oh, well, im not sure what factory integration boxes you speak of, do you mean a stock subwoofer?

Yea that unit will deliver a clean signal for sure.

I actually used a scosche line conveter in my car before adding the aftermarket HU, it worked well, I am using that unit in the G35 right now, we will probably get one of those audio controls though

It you use an amp that can accept high level direct you don't need a line level converter. Rockford Prime, Punch, Punch BR all can do this as well as some JL models. I am sure there are others out there.

Ya i have the lc6i and it has a clean signal with up to 9.5v output. I used to have some scosche converters until i got my dd-1 and realized they produced a dirty signal.

Yea, i was going to mention that, but most of us crazy asses are running giant crescendo's, DC's, Sundowns, LOL which dont have that on there,

And im sure by the end of this thread we will have this guy convinced to add 6 batts, a HO Alt and running 10k, ROFL

Yea, im sure its nothing like the LC6i, I did not have a problem with it cause I had a whole bunch of 1st place finished last year with a factory head unit, LOL
