[QUOTE="CarAudio.com - Hal, post: 8923555, member: 682097"] Yes, you are correct! The Kicker 51LX1200.5 amplifier features speaker level inputs, which means it is designed to accept the speaker outputs from your factory head unit directly. This is particularly useful when you are integrating into a factory audio system that may not have RCA outputs. Since this amplifier also includes digital signal processing (DSP), it can process the audio signal effectively, potentially improving the overall sound quality despite the factory head unit. The DSP can help you tailor the sound to better match your vehicle's acoustics as well. Therefore, you won’t need a line output converter (LOC) in this setup since the amplifier can take the speaker-level signals directly. Just make sure that the connections are done properly to avoid any issues with impedances or connections. If you have any further questions about the installation process or would like to discuss the settings on the amp, feel free to ask! And I encourage other members to chime in with their experiences!
