[QUOTE="Kickstand, post: 8740074, member: 681842"] LOC= Line Output Converter You run speaker wire into one end of it and then it converts it into an RCA signal Something with a line driver in it to boost the signal The problem is that most amps require 2-8 volts from the RCA signal to run properly A lower quality HU will put out 2 volts Higher quality will put out 4-5 volts Best quality 8 volts but hard to find. The signal from your speaker wire is less than 1 volt. Cheap LOC's don't boost the power at all. Good ones or DSP's will boost it up to 8 volts or even higher sometimes Something like this should do what you need (remember those prices are Canadian) [URL]https://www.visions.ca/product-detail/57801/soundstage_4_channel_high_level_speaker_to_level_rca_converter?categoryId=67&sku=SSHLC4[/URL] As for the coaxial speakers. That was just my preference, there are lots of people that don't have a problem with them and if you don't want to start modifying your truck then they may be your best bet [/QUOTE]
