Need help with new car!

[shpatb 10+ year member]

Hey guys, I just bought a Pontiac G8 last week and I really want to move most of the stuff from my sig to the new car, the problem is that the HVAC system is connected to the display of the audio system. I spoke to a guy at a local dealer for a solution and he told me either the JL cleansweep or some unit from Alpine. I really want my system back! Any help would be greatly appreciated. So far I'm thinking of putting the two 555's in a sealed box this time and putting the z6's up front, the sl 95's won't fit so they'll just stay in the old car.

All you need is some kinda of Hi/low converter..tons out their with all types of features..

Look into Audio Control, they make great units for integrating aftermarket systems w/ factory equipment.

We also make a unit, very simple and straight forward.

That looks really awesome... It doesn't how many RCA outputs it has... I want to connect at least 2 if not 3 amps...

2 I know It has Only..

lol..but yea, that was more of an example than a product push.

Check out Audio Control, they have units that are great for up to 3amps and more, plus lots of x/o options as well. Its all in how deep you want to get into it

Look up the DQL, seems to be your best bet!

Thanks for the information. I really want good SQ I've had enought bumping systems, as long as these line out converts don't reduce the sound quality I'll be ordering it soon and taking apart my new car.

Buddy just did a stereo in his G8. Used an audiocontrol line level and a eq.

I havent seen or heard it yet... But he has a nice lil chunk of change in it!

Op spend the money and have it done right the first time!

Nope never had an Audi, but I love my set up, stupid loud and very good reproduction. I'm thinking of putting them in a sealed box because I want more of the punch feeling. All I know is ill never sell them

Because they are as loud as ill ever want.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif And I'll check out that jbl

You can do the JL CleanSweep or some Alpine thing, but they will likely be the most basic and expensive options, there's TONS of choices out there. From a simple line-converter to a Processor, or an EQ, or both.

AudioControl EQX would be a good choice.

do an Audiocontrol LC6i to an Audiocontrol Three.2 or Four.1, problem solved. you keep your factory head unit, you get good SQ from the Audiocontrol EQ as well has 3 sets of RCA outputs at 7 volts.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I'll look it all up after work today and order all my parts and hopefully do it all next weekend! I can't wait to crank it up again. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif
