hey this is my first post on here i just got my 2008 ranger ( i love it) and i eont to put my sub in it but do not wont to change the head unit just yet. can so one please help me

 

Easiet (not always the best) would be to put in a line level converter which 'piggy-backs' off the signal from your stock stereo and turns it into a line-level signal good for use with most amplifiers.

Some four channel amps can take in the four channels straight from a radio (no line level), amp the 4 speakers and then send a stereo signal out to another amp, if I remember right.

I guess if your looking for the easiest way to put in a sub, so then I'd get a line out converter and splice it in to feed an amplifier. Which amp/sub are you installing by the way?

alpine type S10 with a apline V12 1000W 5 channel amp thanks i think i have it all hoockup now, i used a converter that uses the high inputs and changes them to lows t

 

That'll work!

 

when i hooked up the high to low signal converter the head unit stops puting out sound could it be a bad contverter?? or is it a saftey thing the new head units have ??

 

dude, you know how cheap you can get an after market headunit that has a sub preout?? Like $150 or even less. Sound will be SOOO much nicer from it.

 

The stock unit in my 07 holds 6 disks indash, plays mp3's, has sirius satalite radio built in, i can hook my ipod up to it but to thieves it is just a stock headunit and not worth stealing. I just added a line level out converted to it and a small amp and single 12 and it sounds great. Perfect for what i wanted. i can even still use both jump seats with the box i went with.

I originally wanted to upgrade the deck to a dvd indash but my factory one does all the things i just mentioned and no one is going to try and steal it . plus it sounds surprisingly good.

 

I have a The Mach head unit in my 03' reg cab, I just want to put in on 10" sub in my cab, ( I measured and the box dims i drew up will fit) without changing the head unit.

Is This Possible?

I really like my head unit and don't want to spend another $150 when my amp+sub is going to be $200.

 

i have the same setup. only thing i have to say is if you go to bestbuy or cc and get one of there LOC's they suck i have used a few and been disappointed in the output, so bad that i had to puy a line driver to boost the voltage. now all i use and install for people are from http://davidnavone.com/ it puts out like 9.5v's the dude is a genious and when you call you can talk directly to him. NE-7V is the one i use

 

Thats a pretty sweet site!
