Jared420 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I just traded in my grand am and bought a chevy silverado. My stock deck in the grand am wasnt really all that great so i had an alpine deck which i wont be installing in the truck. I am looking for more information on using the stock system in the truck with a line output converter. (i like the steering wheel radio control features that come in the truck) I just want to know if anyone has experience with these? pros and cons to a line output converter . what is the difference? will I be shorting myself? .... just looking for any info thanks 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassJunkie Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I did a setup with a chevy cavalier stock headunit for a kid I went to school with, his amp had the high level inputs on it, I think it sounded pretty good. It was 2 12'' infinity kappa's and a pioneer amp. I've read about bass cut out on stock headunits to where even when you turn it higher the unit wont put out anymore bass, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with a silverado head unit or not. 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free.

jmsonoma03 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 IF YOU ARE ONLY ADDINDG BASS AND NOT DOING AMP TO MIDS IT WILL WORK OK I WOULD SUGGEST GETTING A HIGH LOW WITH A VOLUME KNOB BUILT IN SO YOU CAN CONTROL THE BASS OUTPUT WORKS BETTER THAN BASS KNOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its impolite. Its the same as yelling. Thank you.??? What ??? If you get a line level converter you can add a sub and amp. It will let you take the speaker wires (high level) output from the rear speakers and convert them into a RCA (low level) output. then you just take a set of RCA's and use them for the input of your amp.
