Need Help No Bumps i just installed a jl audio wedge box with 3 jl 10 wired to get a 4 ohm load. powering them is a kicker kx 500.2 that is bridged. i am still running the stock deck for now. i got a line output converter but i hooked it up to the rear speakers and i am not getting any bump from the subs. do i need to move the loc to directly behind the head unit? and if so which wires do i need to splice into? do i need to ground the loc with using this amp? i am using a audiolink powerlink 2. do i need to get a different loc? any input is greatly appreciated.
I have never used line converters, so just a thought. The sub bass in a monsoon system (I'm assuming you have this) only goes to the sail panel speakers, so hooking the converters to the rears won't give you much "bump".
I think they need to be in line with the sail panel speakers, but you should probably connect them before the monsoon amp, as I don't think your new amp will like getting a signal from the monsoon.
Again, just trying to help out, I have never used them. Good luck.
Just a thought, a new head unit would be a great solution. Much better sound quality, and then you can off those line converters, and just use straight RCAs. There are decent units out there that aren't too expensive, and the install is a snap. JMO.

ded's right. If you tapped off of the hatch speakers they got no bass man!
Tap into the rear INPUT side of the monsoon amp, or the deck rear speaker outputs. Dat's the ticket man. No issue with doing it at the amp harness, it'll be fine.

If you're going to go all out like that, I can't recommend an aftermarket cd player enough. For as cheap as they are, you'll be a LOT happier than dealing with the stock deck.. You can get an Alpine 9853 for around $250 and it will do everything you could want and more.
