I believe he said they were "Kickers". That a good brand? And I can get both of them in a box with an amp for $175. From what ive heard thats pretty good. Is it?

I know I sound like an idiot with this stuff, but let me see if I understand this setup correctly. I will buy a line-output converter that I will wire to my current amp in the trunk of my car. The other end of that line-output converter will connect to my aftermarket amp. The aftermarket amp suns to the news subs. Is this all correct?

Yes except the lineout converter connects BEFORE your factory amp. Id task picture of my setup if my box wasn't impossible to move alone.

Ok, SO, Basically you will take the line out converter

then you wrap the corosponding wires from the LOC in with the wires going INTO the stock amp, not the ones coming out of.
Left Rear Speaker
brown +
yellow -

Right Rear Speaker
dk. blue +
lt. blue -

power=white
ground=Black

then you will run RCA cables from there

To your New amp


Do youalready have the power for the AMP figured out?
