Subs and Amp Question Options

[Komail]

Can you hook up Subs and Amp to a 97 Celica ST Limited Edition, with CD player and cassette and 4 speakers (pretty sure I have 4 speakers, dont know yet, just got the car). I dont really want to change the head unit, but how do you get preamp out puts for the amp then?

he's wrong, most amps have a high input, you take it right from the rear speaker feed, you can hook them up to ANY system , and for amps like yours that don't have the input, you can buy an input regulator from any car audio store that converts the rear signal to RCA HOWEVER direct pre-out from a head unit will always be cleaner and crisper

Many newer cars have head units that are very integrated into the car's interior and electronics, and a LOC is a good solution in many (most) cases. Cars such as the Mazda6 and RX-8, for example, integrate the HVAC boards with the radio. While they can be seperated, it's not an easy task - making a LOC an appealing alternative.
