amp and subs... questions

jakhammer · #1 (**permalink**) 03-02-08, 11:33 PM

ok, i did a search to figure out how to wire a line out converter into the stock non bose system. after doing sime reading I am pretty sure I want to use the rear door speakers for the inputs and use the wires coming out of the factory amp to tie my LOC into. is this correct? Also, I used this link http://www.cadillacfaq.com/faq/answe...s-non-bose.pdf to look up the wire colors. I cant make heads or tails of it. what freaking color wires do I use? Good god, last time I had to do something like this was in a Grand Am GT and I had a wiring diagram (a perk of college I guess), but this time I am lost. Help Please.

If you are referring to using a LOC for the woofer I would just use those lines...as the bose amp cuts out certain frequencies to the sub versus the door speakers...but if your amping the door speakers you have the right idea...just test it til you get one...out of all the 4 installs that I have done myself that seems to work the best...of course someone on here will come along with a wiring diagram for ya

ok, i am looking at the jl diagram. is the amp labeled like that? It makes no scense by looking at it. I mean it does, positive to postitive, but when I look at the wire colors given above the diagram, it says both rear door speakers use the tan wire as the positive but have different grounds. is this right? it sure dont sound right to me. thats why I am asking.
