[CL9] Audio Upgrades

so getting a convertor will let me use stock headunit and cancel out the static bullshit? Nah, im gonna have the fronts run off the amp alongside the sub.

That is correct. Well then you just tap the front speaker wires.
Tip; you need to solder this shit can't do the cheapy twist and use electrical tape!!

Oh nevermind, I spoke with the installer at JB. He said all new JL amps have been designed to remove the need of that, and works fine with stock headunits. So i'm all sweet

^no you still need somewhere to plug the rca cables from the amp somewhere, that is why you need that converter...

[ricerockets]

Which converter do you guys use? And where did you get them from?

[DEIFIC]

Nah I can guarantee that you don't need one, the guy at JB put mine in a while ago (this goes for MY system).

JL Audio (and even Kicker) are designed to work well with factory head units, which is why you don't need this converter. I can guarantee you this as mine is working incredibly well without one. I can have my music up to 38 (out of the 40) on Volume control without distortion listening to House/Electro style music.

wow, trust me the rear door speakers aren't fake and have sound coming out of them from the factory. It's a 6 speaker system. Front splits (x2), rear doors (x2), 6x9's (x2) - 2+2+2 = 6.

I pulled out my rear door trims the other day to replace or check for speakers and found that there was not speakers in the rear doors. There was a Blank cover behind the speaker grill that was held by 3 screws and a Factory Foam cover over the speaker holes.

I managed to open the foam cover with a Stanly knife and surprisingly found a factory speaker connection tucked in. So I ended up installing new aftermarket 6's in the door and plug them into the factory connection. I tested in out and the speaker did not make a sound. I even tried the factory speakers that was from the front doors and plug that in (had the same connection as the fronts) and still did not work!

Anyone know why? is there a fuse to check or add or a connection somewhere to enable the rear door speakers?

I have also used the RCA Converter aswell on my Factory Unit for installation of Amp & Sub and it works perfect with no interference what so ever
