    Default Amp Help?????

    Ok heres my question everyone. I am running a stock deck and have an amp already hooked up and want to run another. My current amy has RCA pre-outs for a subwoofer amp, I will have to run a secondary Power cable however where do I hook up the Amp Remote Wire????

    Can I hook it up to the terminal of the 1st amp or will It have to come from the deck?

    You will have to run a distribution block for your power and ground, while the remote turn-on can be spliced to go to the secondary amp.

    Did you use a Line Out Converter to hook the amp up to the stock deck? which one are you using? any issues?
    I'm looking to change the oem speakers (they are garbage!) but I'm a little weary.

    You'll have to run a LOC to the amp. I had a Navone LOC at the time and was good before upgrading to a deck. Quite straightforward to install. Check my for sale thread in the BST if you're interested.

    BST?
    I was looking at the Audiocontrol lc6i, reviews seem to be decent for the most part.

    you don't have to. I chose not, and B.E.P. pounds with the OEM h/u, mirrors shake - even though I'm using like 10yr old 10" American Crunches... it ain't pretty, but it works!
