Line out converter

Post by lowridah313 »

Has anyone wired in a line out converter to the factory 6 disc, with factory amp. I want to be able to run signal from the rear outputs, converted to an RCA signal. I have looked at the online service manual, and have found that pins 13-16 are the rear outputs. Can anyone varify this.

Thanks for the help,
Tom

I assume you want to run this to hook up an amp and subwoofer? If so, why not just use a speaker level input converter which outputs to RCA's? They're about $20 at most audio stores, and would be the easiest way to get the signal to your amp with the stock system. You can "T" off the rear speaker wires.

Actually Simon that what I have. I just need someone to confirm the pin outs on the factory stereo.

I see. That I don't know. If the FSM says it's those pins, I'm sure it is.

(hmm, pics can't be larger than 800px wide, but i dont want to resize it so it's readable)

As far as I know, the outputs on the back of the factory deck that lead to the amp are already line-level outputs, just take the signal from there instead of after the amp where the speakers are connected.

I've done the opposite, I have my sub-out on my Pioneer deck feeding the stock amp driving the factory sub on mine, I don't see why the other way around won't work either.
