Im sure someone know exactly how to do it on here but this is what ive heard of. hope that helped a little.

raytard Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 basically, some very very select cars will have physical rca's or low level outputs to a factory amp that can be adapted to rca's with some splicing and time or you can just get a hightalow and icecube, DEI part numbers 55000 and 55020 (may need multiples if you're doing multiple amps or want like separate ones for front/rear/sub i use DEI personally, they're cheap, work alright, and last pretty much forever. Pac has some nice ones, something like a jlaudio clean sweep, kenwood kos, and i think audio control have LOC's, but expect to pay a whole lot more (DEI is like 5-15 bux apiece depending where you go) Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c0smo kram3r Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Does the car already have a stock subwoofer? I know some do & have stock small amps. If so, just replace w/ your amp & subwoofer and keep the same RCAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick824 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I use a LOC in my '06 Yukon cause I didn't want to mess with any of the factory entertainment stuff. It works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
