If not what needs to be done? A list would be great....Whats this line converter buisness?Which is the best way to face the subs?Where is the best pace to get all this done in melb? Dont want to go to JB or Strathfield... It all was previously installed by freeway car audio (in the old car) who specialise in high end audio stuff but cost a fortune for installs....

What is a good brand line converter? I never heard of them untill last nite and the one the guy showed me looked cheap n dodgy I dont remember the brand though.....
