[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8705944, member: 679555"] Play a 60 hz test tone over your speakers and listen as you use the fader to eliminate the front and then the back. The speakers which play the tone loudest are the ones you want to tap for a subwoofer. If you go with speakers which barely play that tone you'll have an uphill battle to get the bass to sound good using those as inputs for the LOC. Example, my stock front door speakers play loud and clear 60hz, but when I use the fader to eliminate the front speakers I basically can't hear the tone any more because the rear speakers are "protected" from that tone by the head unit right from the factory. In this scenario I would want to tap only the front speakers, never the rear at least for a subwoofer LOC input. Another example, in my last car my rear speakers were 6x9 and my door speakers were only 5 1/2" the factory head unit protected the door speaks from low tones in that car and so tapping the rear would make more sense. The 60hz tone appeared only when the rear speakers were included, if you faded all the way to the front you couldn't hear it. [/QUOTE]
