There is a bypass harness you plug in, and it bypass's the factory. If I'm not mistaken...

yea the bypass is fine and all but by just rewiring your speakers you can save the money of buying it, cus on an install i did the thing was rediculously priced.

to the poster though sorry cant help on its location

question, if i were to install a LOC to a car with a stock amp, but i was leaving the stock amp for the speakers, and just adding a sub\amp setup, would i splice the LOC to the INPUT wires (2 sets for front\rear) - basically the RCA inputs to the stock amp?

i think by looking at the harness\wiring diagram for that car, and the harness that goes into the amp i can figure what wire are input and what wires are output\power.

but is this how i could add an amp without adding a head unit or a crazy expensive harness?

thats the whole point of LOC.....

line output converter.....

so no one has any idea where to wire these things up??

you are supposed to wire LOC to the front\rear channels of the amplified signal i thought - so just splice them into the rear speaker channel... but i was wondering if i could do it before the amp. i can just as eaisly do it after.

oh yea i was told it doesn't matter if it's before or after it's amplified the LOC i got is from phrephial or how ever you spell that and can handle 40 or 60 watts per chan i doubt the factory speakers have more than that going to them
