[QUOTE="dopey, post: 913276, member: 545708"] be careful when installing a loc on the output side of an amplified system. Most loc's are resistor based and only rated for 25 watts. Most of the new cars that have amplifiers are rated past that. What will happen is the resistors will get over worked (get very hot) begin to melt the casing , and basicly break down. On high powered systems you should use a loc that is transformer based. you'll have better luck, it can handle much more power. Also newer vehicles will have an internal xover built into them. So be careful. You might not be getting that bass you're looking for. Btw , what make, model & year is the car? [/QUOTE]
