hi all,

im soon to be purchasing a my 04 - 06 lib gt and will have a sub, 2 amps and some splits that im taking from my wrx before selling it.

what would be the best way to hook this gear up to the existing system?

thanks

plug it in hehehe..

depends what model of head unit is in the lib?

well i have just finished such a project.

i had a kicker 4 channel amp and a alpine sub, plus bought some boston sx60's for the front. after finding out about the ridiculous price for a new facia kit, i set about finding out about adding it to the stock headunit for the time being.

i ended up buying a line out converter (LOC) but a decent one. I got a PAC TrunkLOC for $80 on mobileelectronics.com.au which has a delayed signal to turn on your amp (no pops)

i know these arent the best solution compared to things such as JL cleansweep etc but its hell of a lot cheaper, and i will upgrade to a double din unit one day.

so installed it all (plus sound deadening on doors), wired up the LOC (just feeds off your speaker cables, i used the front which were no longer in use as i have the amp running the front) and hooked up the amp using the single pair of rcas from the loc. i wired it off the front speaker cables (even though it says to use the rear) as i wanted to keep the fader control with the stock rears running off the headunit.

all in all for the price i am very happy with the result. i thought there would be a heap more noise but there isnt. i just made sure all my contacts and splicing was sound (excuse the pun). its loud, its clear and will certainly do for the moment until i fork out for a fascia and new hu.

thats my 2c, if you have any questions let me know.

sweet.

i have 2 amps tho, one running the sub and one running front speakers.

can you get a LOC that has 2 sets of rca connections or will i have to use the passthrough on the sub amp like i do now (my current HU only has 1 preout)

i just got a new head deck installed into the glove box.
the stock still turns on but doesnt actually do anything.
works quite good.
