For those of you that have aftermarket Subs I got ???

[Jaxon]

I just got a 2007 300c. Before I traded my truck I took out the stereo system. My question is how are all of you hooking up your aftermarket amplifiers to you stock radio. I have the Nav system btw.

I used the JL Audio Cleansweep, but take a look at this monster:
DQL-8 Eight Channel Line Output Converter with Auxiliary Input and Digital Signal Processing

Nice. You got any wiring schematics?
Thanks!

The DLQ-8 is nice but it has a little more than I need and I'm trying to keep cost's down. All I really need is 1 input and 1 output. Would this work for the output? Would I just have to tap into any of the + and - wire of the speakers?

if you're being really cheap, just get a good line in/out converter and tap into the rear deck speakers...or if you want better output on the subs tap into the front door speakers...you'll still get some banging bass--just won't be the competition clean sound you want unless you go with clean sweep or a similar product.....good line out converter should cost around$35

You wouldn't happend to know where I can access the door speaker wires from inside the car would you? Where are the amplifiers located?

I'm sure another memeber can possibly tell you but I was lazy and just tapped into the rear speakers myself....I figured when I fatmatted the car I'd rewire everything with the seats out of the car...you might want to search for a while using the "search" feature. There has always been a wealth of information in regards to this or just shoot Str8danno a pm
