Total Newbie question
Guys completely new to the forums sorry if this has been beat to death. Hope I don't get flamed for asking such a newbie questions. Just got a 2004 F150 extended cab.
I want to keep my current cd/radio in the truck but want to upgrade the speakers some and add a subwoofer.
I found another thread about their being no output on the factory radio and needing a LOC (line output converter) in order to hook up a sub.
What i am trying to figure out is what wire goes into the LOC? Rear speaker wire? Would I be better served to get an amp and mount that under the seat and then run the sub off the amp? I have done some stero work on a buddies ranger but that was replacing the entire unit.
HELP and sorry if I am reposting a common question, thanks for helpng a newbie.
