Well, I have yet again changed my audio plans...so the amp and sub will have to wait anyways.
I had thought about the amps being in the way, but the amount of times I fold my seats down is small, and when I do I'm usually just putting luggage over them or something. But maybe I'll just do an amp rack instead. |

Yeah I guess it also depends on how you use your car
If you never use the trunk, then load that shit up with a custom box & subs & amps.....lol But either way.....post some pics if/whenever you do anything |

According to zfactor, technically yes (and he's a audio guru). Very minimal though & it just converts the speaker signals to an RCA cable output.
If you do what I did.....it's not gonna matter though. My stereo bumps & sounds awesome. Even if I was keeping the car longer (it's a 2 year lease) or was buying it.....I'd still keep my current setup. Looks all factory & no one is gonna be busting into my car to steal it. It didn't cost me much at all......I got the subs for bass....tweeters for highs....the stock speakers fill out the mids I guess (they suck)....keep the color of the factory dash color (ugly orange) & I can plug in my iPod. No complaints!  |

the only reason you should use the rca converter is if your running the stock deck as it does not have rca outputs on the back of it.
aftermarket decks: use the rca outs on the deck, it puts out way cleaner sound and way more power to the amp, (you will notice a difference) i have always tapped my remote turn on wire (for the amp) right off of the switched 12v wire for the deck. the amp does not draw anything on this line just uses it as a sensor to turn the amp on/off. that way all the wires you need come right from the deck! clean and easy install. on the rl i ran both power and ground right to the battery (why not, its right there!) no better way to get cleaner uninterrupted noise free power. i also wired a cap in place to keep my lights from flickering/dimming. i needed one as i am running 1600 watts total power. most systems are ok without since the rl has a 120 amp alternator. |
