Features

Overview: This is a versatile adapter that allows for multiple applications. If your receiver doesn't have preamp outputs and you want to connect it to an amp that doesn't have speaker level inputs, this adapter can be used to convert you receiver's speaker level outputs into preamp outputs. With this adapter, you can hook either a 2-channel or 4-channel amplifier to this adapter, and not lose fader control. This adapter also allows you to add an aftermarket receiver to either a common ground audio system in your vehicle, or an audio system that has factory amplifiers (like many of the Premium, JBL, and Bose audio systems). There are gain controls for both the line outputs and the factory amp inputs. Which gain controls you use depends on your application. Note: There is a plastic screwdriver that is physically attached to the adapter, and must be broken off to use. It is used to adjust gain controls and screw down the speaker terminals.

Speaker-Level-to-Line Level Conversion: The adapter can convert car stereo speaker outputs to RCA outputs so an external 2 or 4 channel amplifier can be added to a car audio system. There are line output controls that allow you to adjust the output level going into your amplifier(s). The adapter can handle up to 80 watts of speaker level input.

Interface with Factory Amplified Systems: This adapter allows the matching and installation of an aftermarket receiver with most factory amplified systems like the Premium/JBL/Bose systems.

Subwoofer Application: The adapter will allow for the integration of a subwoofer or subwoofers to nearly any audio system. There are line output controls that you can use to adjust the output level going into your amplifier(s).

Common Ground Audio Systems: With this adapter, you can add an aftermarket receiver to a common ground system in your vehicle without having to run new speaker wires. There are factory amp gain controls that you can use to adjust the input levels.

Common Ground/Factory Amp/Line Out Switch: Depending on how you are using the adapter will depend on what position the switch will be in. If you are adding a new receiver to a common ground system, then the switch is put into the "Common Ground" position. If you are adding the receiver to a factory system that uses Premium, JBL, and or Bose, then the switch is put into the Factory Amp position. You can also add an external amp to a receiver that does not have line outputs; in this case the switch will be in the "Line Out" position. There are factory amp gain controls that you can use to adjust the input levels.

Reviewer: AnthonyB18 from Mechanicsburg. PA  
I bought this because I wanted to add a amp to my truck without removing the factory radio since it has sync. It installed in about 10 minutes. Works great!


 
94 Mercedes S-class October-13-12
Reviewer: Richard from Los Angeles  
this was perfect for getting rid of the popping noises in my S-class after i installed my new headunit, i took the advise of somone on a forum and connected the 5V line out directly to the factory Bose amp, it worked, and it sounded great but every time i changed the radio station or changed tracks on a cd it would make a loud pop, it got to the point where i never used the radio or cd only my Zune, this cleared up my issues, and i installed one my friends Mercedes now hes a happy camper too.


 
Great little device for addressing some knotty iss October-05-12
Reviewer: Old Car Guy from Texas  
Being a vintage/classic car collector I ran into a bad problem in attempting to install a modern radio in a 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Car and this little guy solved the problem.  For anyone having a Ford product of the 1970's era, Ford chose to use a common ground connection at the factory radio for all speakers.  New radios cannot be installed with such a grounding scheme which will very quickly cause the amplifier section to overheat and fry.  It gets hot enough before failure to be a fire hazard at worst or would melt a CD at best.  Instructions that come with the device are pretty simple and straight forward.  Finding a place for it in the dash may be a bit of a challenge but not impossible.  Basically if you are needing to do an installation as the one I did this is the only game in town.  Just make sure you have any modern radio grounded per that radio's installation instructions.  No exceptions or reach arounds.


 
Easy to use...must have for using June-25-12
Reviewer: JimmyJ from Hartford, CT  
You need this if you intend on using your factory amp...fairly simple to set up and install...just follow the directions - I needed one call to support and they took great care of me...in and out in 5 minutes on the phone and it worked perfectly...
