what do you mean a low pass converter? is your signal coming from your speakers, through this converter, then the converter has rca outputs?

Adjust your gain properly. Stock, amps are usually around 1 (at least the ones ive seen) and you will need to adjust it properly.. there are tutorials on how in the amp section of these forums.

as long as you connected everything correctly, you should be fine. it is not gonna be as clear of sound as if you had an aftermarket HU, but it should get just as loud. i guess i dont understand your question. are we talking about sound qualtiy here or about how loud your stereo gets.

it dos not get loud at all my frind with a pre fab bp box is louder then me I dont kare that he is beter then me but I think the is a major porblem with my setup the subs move a hell of a lot but ther is just not a lot of bass you can hear it but it is not that loud with this subs in this box it shuld be beter then what it is now the shop in town has a Audiocontrol SA-3055 and it would not brake a 130 and that is with the db input nobe all the way up and the vid on roe ther was a 12.1 db difrence betwen the SA-3055 with the input all the way up and the TermLAB I know my amp is not the best but it powerd my L7's and had no problem with it what am I doing wrong the shop sed it was because of how thick the back seet was but if you put the seet down it is the same

line output converters ftl...

get a hu...

 

[ThatChevyGuy 5,000+ posts]

save up, get a nice HU, run some rca's and get a good ported box, and turn yor amp up about 1/4-1/3 gain and that shit will pound bruh.

 

[blackbonnie 5,000+ posts]

yeah i say get a HU too. but you say your subs move alot in the box its in, but you cant hear it? maybe you got a leak somewhere and your box sucks, there are alot of factors, get an HU and go from there

Where in IL are you? You need a ported box for them, 4.4^3 is what TC recommends. And a decent HU, so you can run RCA's.

I can help you with a box if you're anywhere near Gurnee.....

Also keep in mind a lincon has alot of insulation/ thick back seat which will deaden alot of sound comming into the cabin... I know how you feel I used to have 2 10" eclipses and a hifonics 1600 wat in a grand marquis and a buddy with a ***** am with a 200 watt pyle amp and a 10" kicker comp was some how louder then me inside the car...
