Actually coom, it will; he's got to split that signal line off of somewhere.

and if he gets a new head unit, he DOESN'T have to split it, and just runs easy peasy RCA wires.

A good line out converter also is like a line driver...it relies on external power to boost the signal going to the amps, and a good line out converter won't make an audible difference on the speakers that are on the lines that you splice into. wink.gif

But he still has to split the signal off of someplace, which means opening up panals, etc etc etc - to me, if you're opening up panals and splicing wires, it's just as hard (if not harder) than buying a harness, hooking up a new head unit; and then laying down RCA wires- no cutting/splicing involved.

JL 10W3v2 (midpower 10" woofer, perfect for what you listen too) , you might also want to look into a 10W6, but you'd need a different amp than I'm listing

Alpine 350W amp; make sure your sub is 2 ohms NOTE: This has the speaker level inputs you need!!!!!

Hard to find a 300W amp for under 200 dollars.. it looks like prices on amps and stuff have gone up since 4 months ago.. I wonder why
