HELP!!! how to properly install the line output converter

[alexeagle]

I have a 2003 Chevy impala and i currently just bought a sub and amp kit. I know how to setup the amp and subs, but the only thing I don't know how to do is install the line output converter(LOC). I bought a PAC SNI-35 variable LOC, my main problem is that my impala has two rear deck speakers connected to a factor amp... I don't know if I need to cut the positive and negative wires on the rear deck speakers and connect it with the LOC or can I just splice into the positive and negative wires on the rear deck speakers (still connected to the factor amp) and then connect it to the LOC. My other problem is that the LOC comes with two brown ground wires.... Can I twist the two brown ground wires and ground them or do I have to ground them separately?

All depends on what the loc is rated for as far as input, but yeah you tap into the rear speakers. As far as the grounds, I always hook it up and check for motor noise to see if theyre even needed. Often on newer vehicles it's not needed.

The cheap LOCs will not override the factory low end cut off. If you have to use a LOC get the audiocontrol LC-2
