I have a factory system in my new Explorer and do not want to go through installing my cd player right now. I want to keep it all stock except unhook the 8"sub in the back, run the signal to my amp and have my two 15s back there.

How would I do this?? Could I simply hook a LOC to the wires that went to the 8"?? Or would the power that is run through that be too much for an LOC, or does it even matter?

Quick Quick with the help if you can please, going to try and get this done by tomorrow.

Thanks much.

Thats a great idea.

Definetly will work

I have no doubts that it will get the signal just fine.

The thing is, there is more power running through those wires than would normall go to an LOC...I don't suppose it could make a HUGE deal of difference.

Worse to worse, the LOC will blow...my amp wouldn't be in danger nor would my subs/factory amp/cd player right?

No,no,no

So you think I'd be just perfectly fine tapping in right at the factory subwoofer?

yep

[mrray13 30]

yep, it'll be fine...

that's exactly what i did in my wife's 04 grand prix...i tapped off the subwoofer's signal....advantage? it's already crossedover...disadvantage.....none.

but if ur going thru the trouble of running power wires for the amp and disassembling teh rear plastic to get to the sub, why not just buy the install harness and pop out the cd player? there's nothing toit in an explorer adn then u'll be done....

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Because I do not want to bypass the factory amplification on the front and rear speakers.

I don't have the time, nor feel like installing my components and their amp quite yet. Also I am planning on an indash so I might as well sell my current player, and save some cash.
