corey7733 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Posted December 25, 2014 hey hey my gf got a 2013 hyundai accent, i dont feel like hacking up her dash to fit a traditional head unit, and not sure if there is a dash kit for this car, and she likes the stock set up, but its lacking bass. i want to put her sub and amp in it, but i have never done a converter in a car. im looking for a well known product, and a place to get it. the car audio websites i usually use dont have what im looking for. would appreciate being pointed in the right direction! thanks.
sbg Posted December 26, 2014 Report Posted December 26, 2014 I never use converters. I take a pair of rca cut the ends off and take the positive and twist them together and tap them to a positive side of a speaker that has bass. Then twist the wires that covered the positives when you stripped them and make a Cassie ground. Done this in about 50 cars/trucks, from new to old . . never had a problem at all. 01 focus se 110 amp alt Big 3 sky high and stinger hpm ofc 1/0 Super start platinum AGM (starting) 2 runs of 1/0 Execution audio front to back Kenwood double DIN DDx271 A pillars- orion 4" super tweeter and 2-1" alpines.

I recommend not following this. A LOC is easy to use. Takes 30 minutes at the most
Miguels Posted December 26, 2014 Report Posted December 26, 2014 i dont think he was talking about a LOC.. he says he cuts the end of rca and wires them to a speaker.. i think that would make any amp clip and dont suggest it.

Miguels Posted December 26, 2014 Report Posted December 26, 2014 if anything i would use a 3sixty.3 and use the high level inputs my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
corey7733 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Report Posted December 26, 2014 yea i seen the pre made rca's that just wire to your speaker wires. not feelin that, thats not going to give me the lows that are required. i have no problem buying and installing a converter instead of hackin up some rca's. a 3sixty.3 will do what i need?
Miguels Posted December 26, 2014 Report Posted December 26, 2014 yes.. you get the signal from the head unit.. might be more than you need if you only plan on using one amp though my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/

Miguels Posted December 26, 2014 Report Posted December 26, 2014 that works too my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
