maybe thats how u guys install line outs on the west coast cause every car ive seen and heard with a line out on the east coast, is fine...we will find out tomorrow how it sounds

im just tryin to do this in the most cost effective way.......and before i coulda swore u were sayin u didnt have to bypass....thats why i was like wtf

he doesnt even need a new hu tho...only for the subs maybe. cause otherwise it sounds really good

if a hu has nough juice juice in it for 8 speakers, and it sounds good ill be impressed

the damn harness for his radio doesnt even have negatives for the front and right speakers....plus he has 3 speakers in each door

shid...i understand what you are trying to say...but at least try to understand me....his hu right now pushes out very minimal rms watts. if he gets a new hu, the rms will almost double. If the power going into the factory amps, doubles, the power coming out if the amp will be at least twice as much power, as opposed to the stock hu...that will sound really bad and could damage his speakers...like your still not understanding my point...if he didnt have the factory amps id say hell yea go out and buy an alpine but, in this case that would lead to a lot more $$$ and pali...since ur an mecp u should know that too. we could just buy a new hu, and buy an amp integration harness, but we still needa track down a wiring harness for the 8 speaker system, which we would prob have to look for online. if the line out sux, which it shouldnt cause ive installed them in a few cars (acura rsx, saab 9-3, mazda 3), they came out fine

dude! he doesnt wanna spend the extra money on a new hu! he doesnt NOT have to buy a new hu to get good sound. he will get good sound with his stock hu. he also has an 8 speaker sound system. he does not want to buy the extra amps for his speakers! i know that a new hu will sonud good. but i also like to give the customer what they want rather than make him buy stuff he doesnt need. hes happy with the sound now, all he wants is a little more bass. plus he has a double din hu, sure he could go out and buy a multi poccket for it and put a din one in there, but din size radios in a double din slot look awkward. im not gonna make him go out and drop a grand on a system

listen dude. if you have a new car that has a cd player built into the dash like the new line of mazdas, mercedes, and bmw, your gonna rip it out and put i na new hu? that destroys the look of a car. Rider is not trying to make a competetion system or anything, he just wants more bass. Ive used line out converters before and they sound just fine. if you compare the line out to the new alpines out there then u have a little difference. but for someone who doesnt even know what to listen for, its fine. i have a 2005 slk 350....im putting subs in it. theres no way in hell i am replacing the hu cause its a gps and everything. line out converters work just fine, have u ever heard one?

Ladies ladies ladies...there is a device out there called a high/low converter aka line out converter. This taps into the front right and left speaker outputs from the hu and converts it into an rca preout! it also has a built in crossover so u can adjust it to how you want it to sound. so no lame ass high level amp inputs or that stuff. you will still get increddible sound from the hu. the only thing it lacks is a 4volt preout (which wont add that much power considering my friend (rider) has tos of mid bass from his components); also he wont have sub control from the hu...BUT the rf amp comes with a gain remote control so all he has to do is turn a knob mounted somewhere by the steering wheel to ajdust the bass of the subs.....ANY MORE QUESTIONS???!!!?!?!?! and it will not take away any of the signal from the front speakers...AT ALL.....trust me guys, i know my stuff, im an MECP qualified installer

You mean to tell me that with a stock sound system, adding a new hu will increase the sound quality of my system. im sure, it will add a little better sound, but in truth the speakers are limiting the sound. You can have the best, most expensive hu out there, but with that the speakers will reproduce the sound really crappy cause they cant handle the new power output of the hu. Now with my friends car, he has the 8 speaker factory amped sound system. What you ppl dont understand is that with a factory amp, you must bypass it before a new hu is installed. because his stock hu is pushing out very minimal wattage, he needs the factory amp, if you keep the factory amp intact and install a hu, this adds 4 times the wattage going into the amp which with cause chaos when he turns the volume up even an 8th of the way. normally we could bypass the amp and power his speakers by the hu, but he has 2 set of componets in the front doors (tweets, mids, and lows), and those need to be amped. So he would have to buy 2 4ch amps for all his speakers...which would be way over budget. so my advice...DONT RECOMMEND STUFF IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT
