how to wire a sub withou a sub out

ncsdaonex · Dec 25, 2008

i have the radio i want picked out. now it doesnt have an out for a sub. it does have extra speaker lines. now can i run the sub off one of those. now is there a device i can put after the speaker line to convert it so it will work with the subwoofer. basically to sum it up i want to put a subwoofer in my truck or two of them with a head unit that is not made for a subwoofer

You need a line level converter. Pretty easy. Like the product below.

There should be RCA outputs on the HU. You run RCA cables from that to an amplifier, then from the amplifier to the subwoofer. If there isn't RCA outputs on the HU then you need a line converter.

Your RCA's hook into the line converter and the line converter gets wired to your rear speaker channels.
