Hello everyone, I have a 09 Charger with the mygig radio. I want to keep the factory radio but I have a Hifonics 1800D and two L7's from a previous setup. What do I need to hook up my amp to the radio? The battery is in the trunk.

ugh another one of these threads. get an LOC(line out converter), or if you want to run multiple amps then i would get the audiocontrol lc6i.

you're welcome /thread

LOC (Line Out Converter)

that basically steals one of your speaker lines from your radio and converts it to RCA outputs, so you can run RCAs to your amp. Also you will need to run a remote wire to something affected by the ignition being on....for instance and I'm sure people can give you different and possibly better ideas for this but I connect it to them windshield wiper fuse. (they are usually easy to get at and work just fine)

...dont use the wiper fuse haha...not that this is necesarrily a terrible idea, but chargers have switched power at the cig socket where you can grab remote. HOWEVER when running remote off of lines like these you run the risk of haveing some issues with the amp...just trust me on that one. If your going to go the LOC route, I recomend getting yourself one that created a dedicated remote line for you...if you want to run high level inputs to get signal to the amp...you may be stuck with something like the cig socket, just make sure its not high current

The Audio Control LCQ-1 only needs 12v+ & ground. It senses the speaker lvl voltage and turns on the amp.

I'd bet there are other converters with this capability.

I like the LCQ-1 because of it's eq.
