Subwoofer Install on Stock Stereo

[PCT]

Yea I kept my factory amp and factory sub.. but I added an additional amp and subwoofer. I was able to grab my positive and negative off the JL audio amp.

Could i run LOC with basic system? Taking my truck in soon, and all stereo shops says LOC will not work on these trucks.

You need to buy an LC2i from crutchfield or Amazon... works like a charm

Or use an amp that will accept speaker level input.
No LOC needed.

I mean you can try what you already have, if it doesn’t work you can always get a Lc2i later. Specially if you are bringing it to a stereo shop they may already have one.

Yeah, cause the wires will already be ran, so it’s be an easy swap.

exactly, if you don’t mind how much are they charging you to run the wires? I’m thinking about making a YouTube video on how I spliced mine so people can do it themselves

naw a loc will work.. I spliced mine out of the inner door panel between the two doors. Ran the wires to my loc end it works like a charm.

however, the easiest and best way to run your new amp and stereo is with a PAC AmpPRO

i tried that, it requires a speaker amp as well. According to the instructions. Amp-pro seems to be geared toward amplified systems...

Yes, i bought that and installed myself, and didnt work, were you talking about something else?

It requires a separate amp for speakers, unless you have factory amplifier.

No, the amp pro cost to much, you can get the same sound from the Lc2i. My personal opinion.

Clean, kinda wish i got the LC2i... Does the quality of the LOC directly effect the signal to the RCA's? Or is just more tuning options on it?
