With a new NVX line output converter you can tap into your factory speaker outputs even if you have an amplified system, and have full gain controls at the same time.

This is basically a new generation of hi-lo converters.

They aren't too expensive either, actually less than other old generation styles I've seen.

I'm not great with sound systems, I just never took the time to learn them like the mechanics of the car.

Does this make it easy to just add an amp/sub to the complete stock system? Is this just to get a different amp on the car?

Is this because you swapped headunits and need a different amp?

 

Chibi in short, it's a way to add an extra amplifier to your existing stock system without dismantling anything or impeding any of the stock equipment.

For example, you can have a complete stock head unit and speakers (with or without a factory amplifier) and without removing the head unit or anything else, add another amplifier. You could run a subwoofer on this amp if you want bass, or you could add another pair of 6x9's or some loudspeakers if you just wanted more music.

What sets the NVX apart is the gain controls. Usually if you use this style of converter you lose output and can introduce distortion making them a last resort. Now, there is no harm, no loss from doing so, making them a very quick solution, a go-to solution imo for simple amp installation.


For anybody running an aftermarket head unit, you generally speaking, can run RCA's off the HU itself. You could still use this converter and save yourself the trouble of running the cable, and instead connect to your trunk mounted speakers.

 

Easy way to add bass... sounds like something i may have to research
