Hello guys, i need help…

Can i connect hi-low converets to wires that goes on subs to amp and back to subs? I have base stereo sound system and the sound is…. *beep*

Or is there other ways to connect amp to stock subs? I know there is plug&play amp but i want to use aftermarket amp with small mods.

Check out this website for Plug-and-Play audio harnesses for the G30 models. They tap into the speaker-level outputs from the factory amp and allow you to connect them to the speaker-level inputs of an external amp. I used their Add-a-Sub harness for the HK amp and it works perfectly.

You will need to check which factory audio option your car came with and whether it has a RAM. They can help you if you're unsure.

As the other poster said you can get a harness from technic PNP that gives you the speaker output wires into an LOC and then wires back to the underseat woofers.

I did this and it does work and makes a little bit of difference. I'm driving them with about 75W RMS each.

The LOC will need to go up to 40v. The only all in one amp that does this is the LC4.800 from Audio Control.

The adapter from Technic is awesome. Made installation of two 10" subs a piece of cake. Considering adding another amp to the under-seat woofers and maybe even replacing them.
