Fitting an amp/sub with standard headunit?

[Cookson]

Is there some sort of magical device that I can tap into the wires from the speakers in the rear quarters to turn the signal from the speaker wire into RCA output for a sub?

Yes, won't be as good as an aftermarket HU and RCA's though.

You need something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Legacy-Hi...Technology&hash=item51a517d808#ht_1702wt_1141

CBA fecking about with new headunits. No one wants to steal a tape player

Oh, your bumpstrips should arrive today or tomorrow

Cheers youth.

I planned to do the same thing with my old 172, bought a couple of these adaptors and a ipod lead, then a nice Alpine came up for sale so I bought that instead.

Let me know how you get on with it.

I'm jump on this thread, does anyone know how these are wired in? I presumed it was for wiring to the speaker cable (rear?) Then I took the head unit out and the cables from the hi/low adapter are the same colours as the display clip (yellow)

Any advise peeps? Also pictures could help.

ive lost count of line out convertors ive fitted at our shop but that one above (although an autoleads product) is particularly poor. i always supply the autoleads pc1-610 to my customers for £9.99. thats is a good quality convertor with adjustable gain on it aswell. 4 wires to connect by joining onto your orignal speaker wires left+/- and right +/-.
