Adding a Sub.

I have a 10" sub and wedge box I want to install in my truck (non pwr sld wndw, non audiofile) I have the sub, box, amp, RCA's and line output converter. My question is does it matter which speaker out put I tap into for the amp signal. And will it affect the sound of which ever speaker I tap into? Also though I dont have the factory sub option, does the factory stereo still have the hook up for it that I can tap into?

Thanks

i thought they made an adapter for the stock stereo

Well I have a line level output converter that taps in to a speaker wire for signal.

do you have any rca out puts on the back of your deck??

u can get an adapter but it would sound much better if you bought an aftermarket cd player like pioneer, sony, etc.. it will be easier to hookup and it will give u more control over your sub and the sound in general. i know from experience lol

I have to agree... I will also throw my 2 cents in and reccommend gettin an alpine unit! Have had several, the work great, look great, and sound great! They cost a little more than some but in my opinion its worth it so you have something that wong break and skip on every cd you play with a tiny scratch!

Thanks guys I really want to keep my stock radio though.

are you sure you dont have an rca output on there already... I have heard the 08's have the stock sub option??

the factory radio does not have rca outputs even if it is the Audiophile package. You need an LOC aka Line Output Converter. It taps into the factory speaker wires behind your radio and converts the signal to RCA level for your amp. Your factory radio will sound fine like this but an aftermarket head unit like a Pioneer or Pioneer will definately sound better.

Expect to pay anywhere from $15 to $50 for a good LOC.
