Default Monsoon question

I have the monsoon sound and love it, but want some more bass. I got a jbl 12" and a nice amp from a good friend for 50 bucks. Does the monsoon HU have rca outputs on the back?

A line level converter takes a high-level (speaker) output and converts it to a low-level (RCA) output. They're not terribly expensive - should be around $20 or so.

Does the amp have speaker level inputs? If it does, you may not need a seperate line level converter.

Hey man, camaro is good. The head unit in your car doesn't look like a monsoon.. that's what made me unsure. It should say monsoon on it, and it doesn't, it is styled slightly different. But yeah everything else sounds like its the monsoon... I am unsure now haha. Get that thing to the track yet?

ya thats why i wasnt sure it did, until i found the amp, and noticed all the speakers...no track runs yet. brought it on the dyno at school though 287whp and 307ft lbs on the mustang dyno. I did a simulated 1/4 mile on the dyno 15.1 at 111 with a 1.960ft....ha peak torque + metal dyno = no second gear traction at all

picked up some long tubes (which i wanna trade + cash for shortys) a ory, ls6 intake, throttle body, and a comp cam that ill install over the winter

track in the spring
