[QUOTE="Orionpower, post: 1380254, member: 565019"] Hey fellow forum members, today im installing a system in my girlfriends car. She wants to keep stock hu so I was forced to get a hi-lo converter. I have never had to use one of these and I dont have directions so I dont know how to hook it all up. Sorry if you cant understand what im trying to say I will be as clear as possible. Their is a slider on the side with the option of "Common Ground" "Factory Amp" and "Line Out" which one of these 3 selections do I set it to? My next question has to do with which terminals I hook the + and - wires from the stock 6x9's. On the top of the converter it says input, and on the bottom it says output. Top has A1 A2 A3 A4 all the way up to A8 and the bottom has the same lettering but with B's instead of A. Beneath each "PAIR" (A1 A2) or terminals their are gain dials, The top says "line out gain adjustment", beneath the 4 gain dials for 8 terminals.
