blake1886 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Can somebody explain what an item like this is used for. I noticed some stereos come with this and i was wondering what is is actually for. I always thought that high level output was measured in watts and used to actually power speakers and rca or low level is measured in volts and is used to "communicate" a signal from HU to amps/processors. Being two different types of power i thought you couldn't just split the positive and negative and had to use a high to low level converter. Can anybody shed some light on this topic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -2004 Ford explorer -Pioneer Deh-80prs HU -4 Rockford Fosgate R1683 -2 Rockford Fosgate P1S4-12 wired to 2ohms -1 Rockford Fosgate Prime R500-1 -I know it's very basic...

BigManAC Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 It's for radios that do not have rca outputs which mean mostly stock headuntis. The RCA's would go I to the amp and the speaker wire you wire into usually your rear speakers or whatever speakers in the car which are closest to the subs. 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthsayer Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 They make those because some amps, rca inputs now except high level ( speaker ) inputs. So you need the adapter. Pioneer is one of the ones off the top of my head, and im sure their are others. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
