Alright so, I've used line out converters before. This will be the third time. So both times I've used them I've tapped into the rear speakers in the truck. Connect the rcas to the amp and boom it worked. Both times it always has a distorted weird sound to it. So how I solved it was just by unplugging one of the rcas and it sounde normal.

Why when I pkug them both in it does that? It's happened on a 2010 charger and my old 11 Chrysler 200.

Now, for my main question. I'm using the same loc in my 14 Ford Fusion. Problem is, the rear speakers aren't in the trunk. They're in the doors. Now, an LOC, or the one I have, requires you to tap into 2, both left and right speakers. I do not want to pull both doors apart and run a wire pos and neg to my trunk to hook up the loc unless I have too.

Now, could I just hook up one side? One set of pos and neg, or even wire both pos and neg together then wire it to the speaker as one?

 
Audiocontrol lc2i.all other loc's are garbage
THIS^^^ your noise is from the crappy LOCs.

and for your wiring find out where they slip the signals out and get it from there. OR do as you said and open up both doors

I'll probably just buy a better loc. I'm tired of messing with this $8 piece of plastic..

Or I just hold off all together on audio until I can afford an MS8
