I have a Audiobahn amp hooked up to my factory head unit. Are you running it to subs? You will need an adapter to use it. I'll look to see what I have and let you know

PAC makes one that goes between the factory radio harness and and the radio which gives you 4 channel RCA connections and a remote lead. I'm using it with a Alpine 50x4 powering the front speakers and a 10" sub and am very happy with it. Each channel has its own gain control for the line level to RCA converter, very good product so far and a snap to install.
http://www.pac-audio.com/oem1kits/ao...or+AOEM-1+kits is the link for the adapter part numbers.
You can get it from www.subthump.com.
It's not linked directly on the page, but call up -- they say they have 'em.
Good folks, good products and sponsors here.

If you don't mind chopping the factory harness there are wiring diagrams at fbodyaudio.com -- loads of good info there on the stereo/electrical systems for these cars.

you can get a line out converter which splices into your speaker output wires from your headunit and turns that signal into rca outputs which you plug your amp into. bestbuy, circuit city and other stores carry these

exactly, any amp will work. you just need the wire to rca converters, just as he has said.

you will need a lineout adapter. I bought mine at bestbuy for $20.

Anybody know where I can find (or could somebody tell me which wires) how to wire in a LOC? I have the amp, powered, remote'd and Sub-bed, just need a signal to tell it when to boom.

Thanks in advance!

The PAC-OEM1 IS a LOC. Nothing special about it other then the fact it plugs right into the factory harness. No need to cut and splice anything. Taco, like I said, the PAC OEM-1 just plugs right in. No splicing needed. However, your basic LOC that you'll get at BB or CC will require splicing into your headunit's speaker outputs. It will come with a diagram of which wire goes where. And here's the diagram for our cars.

The smaller plug on the back of the radio is for the optional cd changer.
