I have a 2001 supercab with a stock single CD player. Want to install an Amp and subwoofer. have no I dea on how to hook up the wiring to the radio. PLEASE HELP.....

 

3 ways, a line output converter, an amp with a line (speaker level) input or a new deck and run RCAs. The problem with the first 2 is you will never get the same bass (low frequency) that you would from a dedicated low(sub) output from an aftermarket deck.

 

You will also lack power because of the power of the output from a lineout convertor.

 

Wrong

 

every time i have ever heard of anyone running a line out covertor theres feedback and the volts on the rcas are almost always low. just saying.

 

Then they installed it wrong or it was cheap walmart junk.

 

Yea what Norm said. Feedback is caused by cheap wires or horrible wire placement (running the rcas along the power wire). A decent line out and decent rcas will make all the difference, just remember you get what you pay for.

 

I've used LOCs before and they worked fine. The problem with those are the noise they can produce, so you'd need plenty of headroom out of your amplifier. Your best bet is to go high level and ground the negative of the RCAs to help eliminate noise, or go with (what I think everyone can agree with) the best route of upgrading your headunit to one with a dedicated low level output. Far better bass control and response.
