@@Work_G Unfortunately for you it's basically a dead industry in the West. Unless you are an engineer working with CAD and Bots, you're never going to be involved in anything of interest. However, people do spend big on their car stereo systems nowadays. Sometimes more than the 'go fast' items. Working at a 'high end' Car Audio place would make for a great first job, while you're putting yourself through Uni!

Hello! Cant tell exact but if you have cd changer you need to look there. Or probably most basic method to bring wire from the ignition. And lastly from rear light like I did (but it will work only when lights is on and don't recommend for powerful audio system)

The way I did it was to use an LOC (line out converter) that has a remote wire that powers on when it senses an audio signal. An extra 12volt outlet was used for the power source of the LOC.

You basically just get signal from the speakers? Am I able to do this with door speakers without any sound loss?

@Joe_1776

Yes, if you get a decent output converter. Something like the LC2i Pro, would be your best bet for a clean signal.

@Work_G

Almost any speaker will work, and that's the point on this install to take signal via converter with stock head unit, because rarely they come with necessary outputs. Sure there is some quality loss but you have to be real super into music to notice it

Wanted to replace the factory sub in my car with a new sub amp set up. If I use the wires going to the factory sun as my input for an LOC would that mean that the sub control on the head unit would still control the sub? If not is it possible to somehow have my head unit still control my new sub. I really don’t want to have to an a knob control.

Ignore that. It was temporary crappy rca cables that I had at the time and that brown cable was just extended original remote cable which I don't use in this car because remote comes from tail light.

Noticed that @ 2:55 RCA cables are not fully inserted. The female RCA connectors on the line converter are inside the housing, and the outer edge of the male RCA jacks does not fit through the opening on the line converter. I would have used different style RCA cables.

That is probably the only way in this case, splice in nearest speaker wires (if no speakers in trunk, use door speakers) maybe in your car is some kind of factory amplifier where all speaker wires meet.

It would be best to take the remote from ignition key, fuse box, or make a separate switch that you can control from the driver's seat.

His ground wire is questionable, plus color red, wow. But the way he tapped into the factory harness is good. Atleast he did not cut it off and tapped into it. Plus the car is off, there is no need to worry about solderiñg the wiring from the speaker out wire, it ís just speaker wire and not power wire. Àlso with some new vehicles, the stock radio does a good job with android auto and car play and there is no need to switch it out. I added a sub and amp to my stock radio in my crv and it bumps really good!
