Do the stock radios have rca jacks?

[Ramitiner]

Title pretty much sums it up... I'm wanting to install an amp... How do I install it to a stock radio?

 

[VegasDragger45]

No they don't you will need to install either a LOC or processor to get rca outputs for an amp.

 

[Ramitiner]

Ok what are those?

 

[quietpeen]

A LOC is a line output converter. You tap into speaker wires and then it converts to RCA.

Ok looked it up. Exactly what i need. Can you please help me find the exact products i need? Was looking at the kicker wislok... need to know what guage power wire, fuse etc. This will be for 1200w subs.

You will need something that provides remote turn on for your amp. Unless you tap into a fuse. 4 ga wire is probably fine. 0 ga no doubt. What amp are you running? that will help to know what you need.

Most people use the LC2i/4i family of LOCs for adding subs, https://www.crutchfield.com/p_161LC2IB/AudioControl-LC2iB-Black.html You need somewhere in the Range of 4 Gauge to be around 1200w, but I'd recommend and go 1/0 Gauge just to give some overhead.

Crutchfield has a handy chart for calculating amperage draw, with 1200w RMS you'd be around 175A at full load.

Ok so i was just doing a little research and i came across fox accoustics box and then researched subs and saw the alpine type R... think im going in that direction. So looks like im going to need an amp 2000+

 

[Ramitiner]

What do you guys think of that setup?

 

[adurm]

I think the new type r ia rated 750 to 1500 watts. Might be hard finding a single amp to do that. Two 1000 watt amps would be easier to acquire imo. You'd likely need 2 sets of 0 gauge or single 00.

Maybe not that hard to find.

The fox box is amazing. If you're planning on that much power to your subs, you better do the rest of your system or you'll never make it sound very good. It's not going to blend well at all

I just ordered the kicker door and dash speakers
