Sub + OEM Head Unit ???

[Hondapawa]

Okay, i just bought a polkAudio of 360watt rms... Now i need an amp, not a big problem, but the thing is that a have an oem radio with a oem honda cdplayer connected to it... And i love the oem look. Is there a way that i can connect the amp to the radio?

The best option

Honest, the best option if you want to retain a stock look is to get a unit similar to the JL Audio clean sweep.

You can read more about them here

There are cheaper ways to do it, and you can find them at Wallmart, but I would still suggest something like I posted above, because I enjoy sound quality.

Hope this helps.

So what does the sleansweep do? and how much does it costs ?

pretty much all you need is a LOC (line out converter) which takes the signal from your speaker wires and convert them into RCA's that you can use with your amp.

this is how i have it set up. but without a LOC i just made a makeshift RCA and cut them...but it won't be as clear or hit as hard if you just spend the money on a LOC.

and wire your remote wire to the antenna and the amp will turn on. without wiring up to the front to the HU

Looks like you know a lot, may you help me?

Cause i try to find the best way to save money... So if i understand, i take the rear speaker wires and plug them in the amp. From there, i run wire to the sub and 2 other wires to left and right speaker ?

Rockfordfosgate's 3sixty.1 will hookup your OEM and give you options for RCA amp hookup

I recommend one of these...

Now u can go and spend a few houndred one one a processor unit spoke of above.

But I reccomend one of these because since your running a sub, and as long as the amp has a low pass filter then ur system will be set...

Since your using the oem head unit that only pushes 7 watts rms a channel I dnt think sq is a huge factor here. So that line level converter will be great for this application. It's even a four channel, so if u wanted in the future u could amp your whole system.

It's your choice what u want. But if your using sub 100$ speakers and less than 40 watts of power than, using a processor isnt gonna make a diffrance vs a line level converter. Since your main speakers will distort long before sub woofer signal quality becomes an issue.

Even if we were dealing with highs it might make a diffrance and thats a really big might. Since were dealing with low frequinceys plus the fact that it's gonna get muddied up sence it's gotta go through a seat and back deck. So... There would be no audible diffrance.
