6 channel amp wiring?

[peachpuff]

I bought a 6 channel amp to run 4 speakers and a sub in my car, but i'm still using the factory radio.

The radio only has 4 speaker level outputs, so how can i hook it up to my amp so it runs 4 speakers and a sub?

Do i connect one line level converter to the front outputs and two line level converters to the rear outputs?

Get a 6 channel LOC unless your amp has a channel switch.

Those look a bit pricey, might as well get an aftermarket headunit with a sub output. Wouldn't my idea of connecting two loc's to the rear speaker outputs work also?

Those $15 LOCs are junk if that's what you mean.

But will the idea of hooking up 2 loc's to the rear speaker output work?

Or should i just run 4 speakers in parallel from one loc and the sub from another loc?

Oh it's a classic, cadence a6000+

I think i'm entertaining the idea of a new headunit with proper rca outs.

A radio with preouts would be easier. If it's a newer car with all the tech in it that's one thing but if it's older def get a head unit.
