Installing High Level To Low Level Converter, Help?

[davorulz]

im currently installing a sub in my bf ute.

How do you connect this, there right an left cords that need to be hooked up? so am I supose to t off from right back an left back speakers an hook all into this converter?

Also ive ran remote to the back of the cigrette power supply, it has 2 wire hooking into the power supply, an the remote is only the small 1 wire, which of the 2 behind the power supply to I hook into?

any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks, David.

you need to tap the converter into the exiting speaker lines, so the left speaker would go to the left high level input on the converter and the right goes to the right high level input on the converter.

Remote just sends signal to turn on amp and so doesn't have high current running through it. Needs to go to ign source, not sure if ciggy lighter is ign or permanently on

Grab a test light to find the switched 12v positive for your signal off the cigi lighter.

Hey mate,

Your 100% correct in saying you need to use your rear speaker channel to run the sub. In behind the passenger side kick pannel you will need to find the correct wires for your rear left and rear right speakers (off the top of my head the are 2 pinks and 2 blues?? you should be able to search for a wiring diagram on the forums) they will be running in the loom that connects to the big orange plug behind the kick panel.

Once you locate the correct wires, and your 100% sure they are the right ones, you need to cut them and wire in your line level convertor, making sure your attatching the correct wires to the correct input on the convertor (+ and -, L and R) There's a nice little spot to mount the box beside the glove box )take the glove box out by opening and giving it a good thump with the palm of your hand on the two pivot points underneath) I find double sided tape works well enough.

Then it's just a case of running your rca's to your amp.

When you get all this done and realise your line level convertor produces sub par sound quality, PM me, as I have a nice little LC6i for sale

P.s, it might also be worth checking if your amp will accept "high level" input (alot of newer amps do) if your amp does accept high level input, you wont need your line level convertor, you may not even need a remote wire to switch the amp on. Just an after thought.
