Why are speaker wires used in line output converters?
Why are speaker wires used in line output converters?
Most line output converters (LOCs) used in the past few years are designed for high output head units. The speaker output of a high powered head unit is designed to operate in a bridgedconfiguration. The speaker wires from the head unit each have half of the DC battery voltage on them when the head unit is on.
Do you need a line output converter for a stereo?
If your stereo doesn’t have preamp outputs, or not enough of them, a line output converter is a great solution. You connect the stereo’s speaker wires to the LOC’s inputs and use RCA cables to run the signal from the LOC to your amplifier. Q: Do factory radios have preamp outputs?
How to hook up a stock radio to a NVX line output converter?
Today we’ll show how to connect and hook up a stock radio to a powered NVX line output converter. The XFLOC2 (LOC) takes factory speaker outputs coming from your cars stereo system, and lowers the voltage to much safer levels for wiring RCA wires to aftermarket amplifiers.
Which is wire to tap line output converter into?
I’m sitting here looking at the bose wire diagram for the factory amp, and i’m trying to determine which wires to tap my line output converter into for my aftermarket amp. If you look at Connector X4, it looks like there is a subwoofer low level audio signal + and -. Would these work?
How does a speaker line output converter work?
A: Normally you would cut the speaker wires and run them to the LOC, then run new speaker wires from your amp back to the other side of the cut wires (to send signal to your speakers).
How does an amp hook up to a car speaker?
Running the amp’s output wires to the speaker wires on the stereo’s adapter harness is how you avoid having to run new speaker wiring throughout the car. That’s the bottom side of the triangle in the photo above — speaker wires from the amp connect to the speaker wires on the adapter harness. Then that harness plugs into your car.
Do you need a line out converter for a car stereo?
Not to worry, though; a simple line-out converter will get your system banging away pretty quickly, provided you’re willing to strip a few wires first. Locate the wires running from the head-unit or factory amplifier to the speakers.
