Multiple amplifiers on stock headunit?

[kjearl 10+ year member]

What would be the best way to run multiple amplifiers on a stock head unit? I want to run an amp to all four speakers, two tweeters, and maybe add a sub. I want to keep the stock head unit to maintain a factory look.

Many OEM interfaces will use as few as 2 channels of input and then create additional channels of output. Audio Control products can do this, as well as any of the big name 8-channel DSPs.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks a ton. Probably gonna go with the AudioControl LC8i.

I picked up a PAC module for my F-150. 2 RCA's, and a remote out.

IF I was ever going to run a stock HU, I'd go with the JBL MS-8... Anything less than a DSP and you're basically just running a glorified line out converter... But depending on your goals here that may be enough to make you happy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif GL with whatever you end up doing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

^ This. Audio Control make some of the best interfacing equipment out there currently.

What is the difference between the signal out of the PAC and something like the LC8i?

I don't know too much about OE signals.

The best answer is to read up on both. I have used both, but the LC8i will offer a far superior signal and performance. There are some great write ups on Audio Control and their products.

I was looking at them to do just that, but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for. The have a bunch of different stuff. I just wanted a clean signal out.

But I digress. - sorry to threadjack
