New member Username: Yfz_rcr_12NC Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-08 | I just installed my subwoofer and it is getting no power. I think the problem is the line out converter but i dont know why its not working. I wired it to the rear speakers and turned the gain up on it. The amp is turning on and the gain is not all the way down. I did read something about LOCs not working on certain cars though. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8070 Registered: Jul-06 | Some stock systems have bass filters on the speakers or built into a stock amp so the LOC won't work on those. |

New member Username: Yfz_rcr_12NC Post Number: 4 Registered: Aug-08 | Its a soundgate locpro LOC. I have a 350z with the bose system. Do you think it would have a bass filter? |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8075 Registered: Jul-06 | I would bet that the signals to each speaker are crossed-over and filtered at the stock amp wherever that is. Sometimes you can get adapter modules to work with stock systems like that but it is not worth. A low end aftermarket HU will cost less. |
