the remote amp wire should go to the back of ur headunit if its an aftermarket
if u have a stock headunit, run the remote wire to a fuse under the passenger side of the shifter
u dont run the line out converter to the stock headunit, u just tap into ur rear speaker wires, u can find these just kinda hangin in the trunk, im not sure which is which but i dont think it matters, CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG SOMEONE if it really matters

Oh and it doesn't matter what wires I tap into? You talkin bout those wires that go in the speakers with the magnet facing down in the truck? What I put the right side of the converter to the right side of the speaker and the left to the left?

holy crappers... Tap the rear speakers for signal as shown in post 2. If you need wire colors there in the stickied in this section somwhere. If i remember chevies the negative rear colors are light blue and yellow. pos is dark blue and brown
Remote needs to be tapped on the inside fuse box on the passenger side. Ur going to want to use either the wiper fuse or sunroof fuse

wow....so i did way more work to get my L.O.C. installled...i tend to do things the hard way though.
1. I removed the factory sub box
2. I took the factory sub out of the box disconneted the wires on each voice coil
3. then i attached the L.O.C. to the back of the the box and ran the leads inside the box through the little hole in the back of the box
4. I conected the left side and right side of the converter inputs to the two sets of speaker wires running in the sub box .
5. reinstalled the sub (not hooked up) and cover and then plugged my RCA jacks into the converter attached to the back of the box
6. bolted the box back in and ran the RCA behind the carpet and plug it into the amp.....and you never see a signal wire that wasnt already there

im using a LOC on my pioneer amp, tried both using the rear speakers and sub and ain't getting crap. No sound, nothing, i even tapped in a bass processor which i figured would up the voltage of the signal and you guessed it nothing. What am i doing wrong? i have power to the amp

the bass processor is between the loc and amp
Got it!. the pioneer came with a harness that takes speaker inputs and turns them into rca's (not a LOC) and that got sound to the subs, but there was a lot of interference. I put the LOC back in and got a half a$$ quiet noise outta the subs. I grounded one of the rear speaker inputs to each and the signal was lost, did it to the other and nothing happened. I went as far as grounding the contacts on the LOC box for confirmation and sure enough, half of the LOC isn't working. Imma run down to the audio shop in a couple of days and buy a LOC from them.
