BOSE advice ~~cheap LOC unit

[jonbearsmt 919]

ok so as some of you know dani picked up a new car, a maxima with the bose system in it ,

for now i would like to get a LOC unit put it on the output of the bose sub and run an amp off of it of course,

i was looking at LOC units, and i have used some high end ones, and i have used some scoshe ones from walmart but , they have alll been adjustable, the stinger one im looking at now does not... im not sure that it will matter,

the boes sub is very low power.. i guess its only getting 10 watts or so... its very low power..

has any one used this LOC before?

and also if anyone has any experience adding onto a bose system it would be helpful

thanks

You don't need a LOC. the signal from the head unit to the sub is small signal.

But if you really want one PAC SNI-15 is the best cheap non adjustable ones around.

so your saying just cut a pair of RCA wires and tap into the factory sub and go on with my day?

Yea, but before the amp. Between the headunit and sub amp. Verify with ddm but should be less than ~6 volts

While you are checking I'd measure the roll off. ie, have a cd with tracks that play 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 Hz and insure the voltage stays consistent. Of course someone may already know that it is flat, but if I didn't IMO it's faster to measure than to look on the web.
