The methods i used will require an understanding of car/car stereo electrics so just be careful so as not to damage your car or yourself :)īits You'll need: Low Line Converter, I got mine on Ebay here for £6.00 Stereo Keys to remove your head unit, you may not need these depending on the manufacturer and fitting type in your car Multimeter The converter i bought also gives you a "remote wire" output which tells your Amp when the car is on so it doesn't drain your battery, if you get a converter without this option you can just join the remote wire to the Acc circuit of your car, or the 12V circuit with a switch (you will have to remember to turn it off though or your amp will drain your battery) I decided to keep my standard head unit because it looks well in the car, is less likely to attract thieves than a shiny after-market unit and it is a factory upgraded unit anyway and i find it gives pretty good audio quality, it works with the steering wheel controls and has bluetooth and aux-in, so an after-market unit wouldn't offer a substantial upgrade.įactory head units rarely have RCA or "Low line" outputs which your amplifier will need for it's input signal.Ī "Low line converter" is a device which will piggy back your speaker outputs from your head unit and convert them to Low Line RCA outputs for your amplifier If you want to upgrade your sound system in your car by adding a sub woofer or speakers powered by an auxiliary amplifier without having to get a new head unit then hopefully this should help you :)
