Hi guys so here goes (I'm new to this so bear with me )-

I have a Sony head unit with 4 channels but NO RCA out.
Have Alpine- SXE-4625s 2 Way 150w Coaxial Speakers (Front)
Impedance: 4Ohm
Frequency Response: 90Hz-20kHz
20w RMS / 150w Peak

Stock rear speakers

Kenwood KAC-819 2 Channel Amp

12" Kenwood Sub

Question is this- how to wire it up?

I could keep the fronts run off the head unit
Run a RCA converter off my rear channel head unit speaker wires.
Run the sub off the amp

But what about the rear speakers? I know they are stock but I could always upgrade. Just don't know how to make this work.

Or could I run all four car speakers off the front 2 channels from the head unit, convert the rear channels to RCA and just run the amp from that?

Really appreciate any guidance on this.

Thanks,
Felix

 

you can still run the rears with the converter hooked up

use this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevy...item35a836c998

 

that kit is for a factory radio that kit may not be what he wants. but close. use a in-line level converter. how it works is by using the wires that are powering the rear speakers and convert it to rca so you can use it for the amp input. so instead of getting the signal from the rear of the deck, it gets it from the rear speakers by tapping in the line. if you tap in the rear speakers you still keep the rears and have a amp input
these in-line converters cost less than 20.00

 

 

Guys- that is awesomeness. Even a diagram!

You guys rule.

 

Will this do the job?

Yep, thats it. Shop around locally tho...thats 15 pounds, plus shipping & currency conversion. Gonna be gettin' on for $30 by the time its at your door. My local audio supply place sells the line level conversions for under $25.

 

sorry didn't realize you were over seas. i thought you were in the u.s. i got mine from a bestbuy, i guess you could look up ebay for hi/low level converters.

 

Yeah that link is for the Uk which is where I am living. Many thanks guys.
