[QUOTE="Rob Edmunds, post: 8805752, member: 686467"] Ahoy All, I come to this forum as a new member after several months of searching for an answer to an unusual problem after looking at lots of responses. I date back to when an aftermarket head unit with 2.5 watts was an upgrade, ran a commercial PA business for years, currently am a part time lighting tech, and know which end of a soldering iron to hold. In the 1980's I had jacks in the back of my cargo van and could plug in Gauss 15 inch speakers in big cabinets (with that mighty 2.5 W Sanyo) so guess I was early to having subs... My daily drive is a 2008 Chevy Impala with the factory head unit, a Kicker KEY 180.4 amp with DSP, Hertz Dieci DSK 165.3 front speakers, Polk DB690 rears, and a Sony XM-N502 amp in the trunk driving a Polk DXi104 sub in a closed box. The remote power amp is fed by a line level adaptor from the rear speakers, and it's power lead goes through a switch on the dash. I listen to a lot of radio and some stations just use too much bass boost. I have played lots of live music and at one point was an AM top forty DJ and studio engineer. I will post my question elsewhere but it is about using a pulled factory head unit to make a boom box and defeating RAP. Thanks, Rob [/QUOTE]
