[QUOTE="Kapt67, post: 8689020, member: 678448"] I have a a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic with the non Alpine 8.4 Nav system in it. Standard six speakers. I upgraded the dash speakers to Infinity 3.5" coaxial's, and the front door speakers to Alpine Red-line series 6x9's. It sounds pretty good, but is lacking some oomph. So I bought a Rockville 10" (Rockville RW10CA) under the seat subwoofer in an attempt to keep rear seat storage. I didn't want to go with a high level input, so I also bought a Kicker KISLOC2 line out adapter Today I did the install and tapped into the driver rear door speaker from inside on the B Pillar. As soon as I connect a speaker wire (the negative to be specific. And the ground) to the inputs the LED in the converter lights up and won't go off. This also turns on the amp. Can't have an amp on all the time right. So I rechecked my tap connections and all seems to be OK. No shorts that I can find, or anything else that seems weird. So I figured since I'm at it, I''ll try the high level input connection I disconnected the converter and connected the plug for the high level input. Connected everything and the amp lit up without the radio on. I turned on the radio and it sounds pretty good. I turned everything off and waited a bit to see if the amp would turn off after a little bit. It did not, and just made noise out of the sub even though everything was off I'm lost here. Tomorrow, weather permitting, I'll pull it back apart and recheck my tap, but I don't think that's the problem because with the amp disconnected that speaker sounds fine.
