subwoofer to factory head unit

[dladdin]

Hey people (New here)

Right I have fitted any subs into aftermarket head units before using the left and right (red and white) lane in and out !I am just asking can you fit a amp and sub to a factory head unit that don't have the red and white lines out ? It's for a chevy spark and it's expensive to get a aftermarket radio

Thanks

Using a factory Hu to external amp requires a loc (line out converter). I recommend an Audio Control lc2i. You tap into the existing speaker harness to get a signal to run to the amp.

I so it can be done ! Where do I tap in? Left and right speakers ?

Both is ideal, but you can use l or r independent if you want to.

Welcome. There are locs much less expensive than the lc2i, but they don't restore the bass that a factory Hu lacks.

Yeh I see ! Can I cut into the back left and right speakers to take the signal from there but the head unit still run the back speakers as well as the convertor.. seen some instructions on eBay saying to cut the rear speakers completely to run the comverter?
