PART SHOWN IN VIDEO For Installing AMP/SUB To Factory Head Unit LOC2SL Linked Below amzn.to/46nGh3S If You Want Something Better If You Got The Extra $$$ LC2i PRO Is Really Nice amzn.to/3DLzbrT AMPLIFIER COMPLETE INSTALL WIRING KIT amzn.to/2JEjQiN QUICK WIRE SPLICE TAPS & CONNECTORS amzn.to/2Fg8T24
I hope you read this. I've watched close to 15 videos on LOCs. Some from crutchfield, skar audio, random TH-camrs. Yours was the most well explained. Every wire completely thought out. I appreciate you and your effort on this video. I'm confident about my install and I'm going to buy parts, literally, right now.
I just bought mines I’m only gonna be using the ground and power and remote my amp doesn’t have a bass knob this definitely helped I already have everything els upgraded I have a really good double din head unit
Appreciate you're trying to explain how line out converters work, but probably should change the video description to something more appropriate. Like many, we came here to see a video on installing an amp/sub to a factory radio.
You lost me when you said that the speaker wire polarity doesn't matter. It absolutely does matter. A good way to visualise the importance of having the correct polarity is to take any speaker where you can clearly see the cone travel. Connect wires to the positive and negative terminals of the speaker. At the other end of those wires, hold the negative wire constantly to the negative terminal of a small 9 volt battery and then tap the positive wire on and off the positive side of the battery. When connection is made, the voice coil which is connected to the cone should travel out and then back in when contact is stopped. Then try reversing the polarity and the cone will travel inwards when contact is made which is incorrect. The voice coil needs the correct polarity signal to travel correctly within the magnet to perform as intended. Sorry to oversimplify things but it may help some to get it right.
Please some reply fast I need help I have a 1500 watt amp in 2 subs in 4 rear door speakers in 3 dashboard speakers in 2 corner speakers what do I need to connect everything in out it together I have a factory radio will this little piece right here power all my speakers or do I need something else I have a chysler 2010 touring
Good video I have been wanting to pimp out my shoebox car some but didn't want to buy a new head unit.. trying to be lowkey as possible. I love technology
2011 Subaru legacy 3.6 premium Haram kardon non nav I am looking for a connecter pinouts from the head unit to the factory amp so I can tap into the speaker level rear speakers to install a aftermarket amp and bypass the factory amp but I cannot find a wire diagram any help would be appreciated
I just bought a 2021 Jetta GLI, do you think this would work on my car? Also could I just hook the ground and power to my ground and power on my capacitor ?
My question exactly, I'm going to inatall a sub and amp in my son's Audi A4, I found it had an OEM sub in the back. But there are only two wires, so would you hook up it to the left or right speaker wires? Is it okay to use this OEM sub for this purpose? Can you only hook up one side, or will it not sound/work right? Thanks!
@@craigb.golden6494 you can repeat wires or make the 1 negative wire into 2 negative wires go to R/L negative & 1 positive wire into 2 positive wires for R/L if that makes sense!
you can repeat wires or make the 1 negative wire into 2 negative wires go to R/L negative & 1 positive wire into 2 positive wires for R/L if that makes sense!
yes bud thats why i donot want to chainge my stock unit it quiet a good one but no usb only probem , have put a 4 channel adaptor to mine and works fine ,, just a bin jumpy on the smd dd1
So if I hook the blue remote wire coming off the powered sub Into the blue wire on the L0C2SL it should kick the amp off when I shut off my car right??
Thank You!!! I was about to buy another LOC for the same price and it didn't have the remote turn on which is critical and the wired remote that is included with this one, also your video was very helpful, however on another video a guy showed how to use a 9-volt battery to test whether you have the negative and positive correct when hooking up to to the speakers
So I bought a similar one like this but it has no power wire but 2 brown ground wires. I still have a bad engine noise with this hooked up. I grounded both brown wires together.
I didn't know I could hook it up in the back. I was gonna tear apart my dash and hook it up behind the radio all hillbilly style. Awesome. Maybe I should have went to school longer
Nah you had it right cause the front speakers got more frequency than the rear this guy is going of other TH-cam videos he watched “+or - I don’t think it matters”....really? Let’s see that applied to car batteries....
@@TwO2ThAt if you hook it up to the wire harness, do you need to split the wire three ways, or just take the wire from where it was going to the new line?
@@rickstagner5717 all you need to do is bridge the wires on converter so white/grey+ and white:black/grey:black- then you run each pair of wires to the -and+ on either side of front speakers( driver or passenger side) u only need one side which ever is easier to run wire to then the rca cables from the amp to converter and that’s it I prefer placing converter by amp to tune all the equipment in the same place and if you hear that humming noise coming thru just ground the black wire on the converter or use the same ground on the amp I know some converters come with yellow and red wires if they do I just run em to the amp
only thing to remember is that if your planing to just add a 2 channel bridged or a mono amplifier and a sub and nothing else in the boot, your gonna lose your rear shelf speakers. this method works best only if you have a 4 channel amp (2 channels back to the rear speakers and two channels bridged to your sub) or a 2 channel amp that can run tri mode which is very rare these days tho some kenwoods and pioneers could do that back in the day, or a further option is if you have one amp that has both rca in and rca out so you can daisey chain to a 2nd smaller 2 channel amp back to your rear speakers :) soz if its a bit obvious but worth remembering in your planning :) splicing into speaker wires and still using them to power the speakers too is to me and anyone who cares atall about things being right and wanting the best outa what they've got is a complete no no and just taking the terms rookie and lash up to a whole new level as if using this device wasn't compromise enough any way to keep your factory head unit, but dont make thing worse than they have to be :)
ya you adjust it after it is all hooked up for best sound you prefer or so it sounds best while it is playing music out of speaker turned up kinda high but not all the way on volume & just adjust the screws to your liking hope this helps
i used this on my jeep compass 2018 head unit and ran my remote wire to the amp and the amp stays on when the car is off? will the green power light kill my battery?
Yeah definitely need to check your wiring. you can always hook up the remote turn on wire to your head lights fuse that way you can turn your amp on and off at will
Hey so I was going to buy this box for my subs but how to can I extend the wires to be able to reach my battery and my rear speakers from the box? Because the wires are too short to reach anything, so what wires do I buy to connect to the box to extend the wires to my battery and rear speaker.
just use longer RCA cables check out what i have linked to amazon that should be more then long enough & only cost like 10 bucks & well solve your problem amzn.to/37xiujO
I'm pretty sure that the remote wire isn't what powers your amp on and off. Your amp has its own. That remote wire is for the power on the converter itself
So I have a sub and amp with a stock stereo I am very confused on where to put the rca connections because the stock stereo doesn't have the rca outputs. I know I plug the rca cables to the loc but what do I do after that how am I going to get the audio to play if it's not actually connected to the stock stereo does it have something to do with the amp or do i just tap in to my speakers from the trunk? Need help please that you!
Did you not listen to what hes saying? Each one of those wires on LOC is to splice or tap into the speaker wires of the car on the radio wire harness itself. that is how it will send the music audio signal to your LOC. thus converting it out to the RCA cables that you will now connect to your amp on the other end. Its up to you to look at the diagram of the car you have to make sure your splicing into the correct wires. So always tap into the front speakers wich will be 4 different wires, FR+ FR- & FL+ FL- Wich is front right positive, front right negative & front left positive, front left negative. After you splice into those with your LOC you will now have audio signal going through it.
Hey! Um........will this thing air up my run flat tires if they go flat? Im trying to tap this thing up to my like......tire pressure output sensor??...TiA....
I’m 99% sure that he did mean the remote post on the amp. I’ve been searching for days on how re-hook my car stereo up and he explains it nicely and tells us where to hook up each line. So instead of running the blue ‘remote on’ line from the head unit.... just have to connect that blue output line to the AMP’s ‘remote’ line.
Yea..it goes to remote. Or you can run a toggle to the amp via remote and positive on amp so you can remotely turn the amp off..unless you're a moron like me...and never remember to hit the toggle and I kill batteries.
I've got a question? I have New Mercedes-Benz and Don't wanna touch the the radio, Navi, lol on any other car I wouldn't care and have. But this car already has the Bsst 14 speaker Burmester Sound System, doesn't get much better. My worry is I've never tried one of these cheap boxes to tap into my my rear deck speakers, I mean how does one of these compare to using A nice Deck with RCa PREOUTS?
@@midwesternfreethinker I understand a powered sub is just a subwoofer & box with amp built in an all in one package. Do you have aftermarket head-unit? You would want to use LOC or this product if you want to hook up your powered sub to factory/stock radio. If you have a aftermarket head-unit installed then most of the time you don't need to use a LOC or this product to install powered subwoofer or aftermarket amp/sub.
@@midwesternfreethinker Ya you just hook up wires from LOC to R/L side +/- speakers wire totaling 4 wires to LOC & then plug in the 2 RCA cables from LOC to your powered sub to the RCA inputs make since I hope this helps.
So, the single blue remote wire, on the output side of the LOC, doesn’t go to the remote port on the amp? It’s tied in with the constant power wires? That doesn’t make sense to me :-/ Or does the output remote wire go to the remote slot on the amp? Thanx bud
no single blue wire goes to amp to tell amp to switch on/off or to turn on amp & turn off amp you don't have to use this feature but is way easier then having to run wire to fuse box then tap into fuse box & run wire to turn on/off amp it is a feature that just makes it easier to wire in amp on this specific high low converter more other ones don't have this feature hope this helps
@@EverydayImTECHnIt I’m just worried that this would leave the amp on all the time…and drain the battery? If I have the power wire on the input and output sides both going straight to the battery and amp, won’t this cause the amp to stay on all the time?
I starting chasing wires, getting ready to splice everything together, then saw your video, and double, triple thought about it for waaay too long 😆 So I just decided to pause n I’ll do it when I wake up in a few hours 🤪
@@pezzathemuso1982 it won't trust me basically the way it works is it has an automatic sensor in it so it senses when audio is going through the Highlow converter from your head unit it works perfect that's the way I have it hooked up on mine never had any issues with amp staying on or not turning on I was kind of skeptical at first myself but it works like a charm actually a really cool feature about High low converter
@@EverydayImTECHnIt is it alright to connect this LOC to the radio power and ground? Or do I need to run a separate ground and run separately to the power off of the battery?
Did that work for the Chevy Bose system? They usually require a adapter\module that takes the extremely low signal from factory head unit that runs to the stock Bose amps. They are a pretty unique system in those trucks and one of the reasons I went with my Silverado that didn't have the Bose system.
These converters work with any and all. It gets it's signal from your speakers wires and converts them to RCA so they can connect RCA signal cables from converter to amp. Makes it so you can hook up a 2 channel or mono amp to your factory system.
Shouldn’t the remote wire go to the remote plug on the amp instead of the power? Or even maybe hook the remote wire up to a fuse? Or did it work just fine ? Lmk thanks!
Chris Cam you're right. The remote wire from the LOC goes into the remote wire plug-in on your amp, not the power. Plugging it into the power would not turn off your amp
indeed you do the reason being that a stereo signal isnt the same both sides (panning etc is used alot in music production) , you need the two signals combined to make a complete mono signal for your sub :)
HEY COULD I USE THIS BACWARDS..? IF I HAVE A AFTERMARKET HEADUNIT. WITH RCA S.. N I DONT WANT TO CUT THEM.. MY AMP IS PRE WIRED WITH NO RCA JACKS.. WOULD IT WORK..?
You were saying that you connect them to the speakers but a better thing to do it put the wire in the connector right out of the head unit and use all the power wires from the head unit or run a separate power wire doesn’t matter and then run your speaker wire for your amp into the head unit area like you normally do instead of messing the with Sauter on the speakers
i think the whole point was showing how this could be handy for people even if they have a head unit with line outs, but didnt want to run cables thru whole car, could use this as a compromise too tbh killforthewin bud, sure they will have to run a live etc for amp anyway, but might suit some this way :)

So I bought a similar one like this but it has no power wire but 2 brown ground wires. I still have a bad engine noise with this hooked up. I grounded both brown wires together.
Do you know if this is possible to do through an EQ?
do you have to connect the positive and ground somewhere cuz i have seen some vidrios where they stated it’s optional
can i connect the loc to 1 rear speaker - to - and + to +
So would I have to purchase the same gauge power and grown and speaker wire for the LOC since it won't reach all of the destinations
What wire can I use to run all of this just standard speaker wire for all??

I only subscribed because "EVERY DAY WE TEK EN IT"ending it lol good video tho. I bought one
Hook them up either way!!!!!!! Ever heard of polarity, it's essential!!!!!!!!
😂😂😂
Quick question I have one installed in my car now where do I hook the remote wire from the amp up too please and thanks
your talking about the lone blue white stripe wire correct??? It connects to the "TURN ON" terminal on your amp!!!
Easiest is the fuse for your radio
From there u connect the amp remote to fuse box right
So, the single blue remote wire, on the output side of the LOC, doesn’t go to the remote port on the amp? It’s tied in with the constant power wires? That doesn’t make sense to me :-/ Or does the output remote wire go to the remote slot on the amp? Thanx bud
no single blue wire goes to amp to tell amp to switch on/off or to turn on amp & turn off amp you don't have to use this feature but is way easier then having to run wire to fuse box then tap into fuse box & run wire to turn on/off amp it is a feature that just makes it easier to wire in amp on this specific high low converter more other ones don't have this feature hope this helps

I’m just worried that this would leave the amp on all the time…and drain the battery? If I have the power wire on the input and output sides both going straight to the battery and amp, won’t this cause the amp to stay on all the time?
I starting chasing wires, getting ready to splice everything together, then saw your video, and double, triple thought about it for waaay too long 😆 So I just decided to pause n I’ll do it when I wake up in a few hours 🤪
@@pezzathemuso1982 it won't trust me basically the way it works is it has an automatic sensor in it so it senses when audio is going through the Highlow converter from your head unit it works perfect that's the way I have it hooked up on mine never had any issues with amp staying on or not turning on I was kind of skeptical at first myself but it works like a charm actually a really cool feature about High low converter
@@EverydayImTECHnIt is it alright to connect this LOC to the radio power and ground? Or do I need to run a separate ground and run separately to the power off of the battery?
My radio wire connecting to my power wire leaves my amp on even after I cut my car off. What could that be I drive a Nissan Sentra 2006
You need to install a kill switch, the power wires just bringing in constant juice to your amp, from the battery.
Those wires on the end look kind of short to connect to the left and right speakers. What size wire do you need to adapt to extend the length ?
I have the same question
can I keep the speakers and connect it? or should I connect L and R only to that?
Yes you can keep speakers connected FYI I kept my speakers connected also!!!
Wait your description says without RCA and puts but within the first minute and a half of your video it says you need RCA inputs
But does it work good if you have 4 speakers ?
Hey what if the wires for my factory speakers are copper and blue
So the rcas on the high low converter connects to the amp and not the head unit? So nothing connects to the head unit?
Correct
The blue wire goes to remote behind the amp or the power of the amp
remote it's the wire that tells the amp to power on/ turn on & off the amp power wire is big wire ran from battery + with in line fuse
@@EverydayImTECHnIt so I can add the blue wire which is remote to a power wire
Did that work for the Chevy Bose system? They usually require a adapter\module that takes the extremely low signal from factory head unit that runs to the stock Bose amps. They are a pretty unique system in those trucks and one of the reasons I went with my Silverado that didn't have the Bose system.
These converters work with any and all. It gets it's signal from your speakers wires and converts them to RCA so they can connect RCA signal cables from converter to amp. Makes it so you can hook up a 2 channel or mono amp to your factory system.
Once connected, will it produce any static, noise or buzzing through the speakers?
Well this same one i can only put one rca in to amp. Or the bass get low. Ford explorer 02.
Shouldn’t the remote wire go to the remote plug on the amp instead of the power? Or even maybe hook the remote wire up to a fuse? Or did it work just fine ? Lmk thanks!
Chris Cam you're right. The remote wire from the LOC goes into the remote wire plug-in on your amp, not the power. Plugging it into the power would not turn off your amp
Correct sorry my bad i miss spoke
thanks!
+Chris Cam Cool.
Question I connect my remote wire all ready !i buy this converter ,, coming Witt remote wire too I NEED CONNECT BLUE REMOTE FROM CONVERTER too?
The blue wire does not go to power on your amp that would go to the remote on your amp.. Wich yes tells it to turn on and off
correct thanks for clarifying a lot of people aren't familiar with that feature of this particular Highlow converter.
If we only have one sub do we have to wire left and right
Yes you need Both L & R
indeed you do the reason being that a stereo signal isnt the same both sides (panning etc is used alot in music production) , you need the two signals combined to make a complete mono signal for your sub :)
If I hook up my subs to the car without amp can it burn out my fuses to the car??
Question, could you hook this up to just one speaker? And how would you do so? Would you use one white wire and one grey wire?
i’m a little late but did you get a answer to your question?
Thanks. It was helpful.
If I want to tap into a factory subwoofer to get the signal which wires do I use on the LOC? The Left speaker signal or the right? Does it matter?
Did you ever figure out? Trying to do this on a 2014 ram
HEY COULD I USE THIS BACWARDS..?
IF I HAVE A AFTERMARKET HEADUNIT.
WITH RCA S..
N I DONT WANT TO CUT THEM..
MY AMP IS PRE WIRED WITH NO RCA JACKS..
WOULD IT WORK..?
You were saying that you connect them to the speakers but a better thing to do it put the wire in the connector right out of the head unit and use all the power wires from the head unit or run a separate power wire doesn’t matter and then run your speaker wire for your amp into the head unit area like you normally do instead of messing the with Sauter on the speakers
ya for sure your still hooking it up to the same wires just at a different place
i think the whole point was showing how this could be handy for people even if they have a head unit with line outs, but didnt want to run cables thru whole car, could use this as a compromise too tbh killforthewin bud, sure they will have to run a live etc for amp anyway, but might suit some this way :)
Great video
Will this work on a powered sub ??
Yes sir
@@EverydayImTECHnIt thank you bud !!!
You saved me a lot of headache I do believe!! Thank you for the video
@@midwesternfreethinker No worries glad it helped
Helped a lot thanks 👌
