C.Sanchez.A Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I'm getting a 2002 Mazda Protege and won't have enough money left over to get an aftermarket head unit. I already have the sub and amp, I just need to know how to connect the sub to the stock head unit.

Berto Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Get a Line Out Converter (LOC) You just have to wire that into your speaker + and - and then you hook your RCAs up to that and you're good to go.

casemods Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Personally, I would just buy a head unit for cheap on CL (just enough to get proper RCA outs and possibly USB input) I mean, $20-$50 is not much if you think about it. A line out converter is how much? Money that you could put towards a head unit..... Best buy/frys and others do financing as well...which makes it a lot cheaper. Alternatively, you can just hook up an mp3 player directly to the amps...this only works if you have both amps near each other and you have highs and lows on amps, otherwise, I don't see the point of putting just the sub on it...

Also, financing doesn't make anything cheaper...

MrSkippyJ Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yo OP, what amp do you have?

C.Sanchez.A Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Most of the line-out converter i've found are less then $40 or so. I need a double din for my car and if I'm going to spend the money I want to get exactly what I want, which will run me at least $250+. Also, this is my daily driver, I'm not putting to much into it.

C.Sanchez.A Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yo OP, what amp do you have? Where you asking me that? If so, I have an Alpine MRP-M350, I think... I haven't been able to find much info on it.

MrSkippyJ Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 It has level inputs, use those. No need for a converter.
