im so confused on adding an amp to a factory system

[Greggk 10+ year member]

ok background. i have a 2006 Chrysler 300c with the factory navigation and boston system. i bought a diamond audio D312 subwoofer and a Cerwin Vega XL600.1 amp. i need to hook the amp up but my headunit has no preouts.

i was told i could use a LOC, the PAC C2A-CHY, and now possibly the MTX RE-Q. all im trying to do is keep my factory amp for my factory boston stereo and just add another amp for my diamond audio sub.. which is the best way to go?

PLEASE HELP ME, BEFORE I GO NUTS!!!!!

Any LOC should work fine, or if you have the extra cash to throw sown a Fosgate three-sixty could be the best option.

ok those are some things to think about

Yep, any of those should work fine for you, all you need is something to convert high level speaker imput to low level rca output. I am not familliar with the MTX unit but if it converts the signal then it should work fine for you as well.

ok that answers my question for the most part now just trying to decide which one i want

for subs a standard LOC should work fine just tap the signal before the oem amp and it should be full range
