Installed a line output converter in 2006 nissan armada.?

Question

I have hooked up the line output converter and have a single sub and amp. The bass hits at a continuos level not to the music and even hits the same way when the power is turned off on the stereo. What could be the problem? I checked the RCA's and they appear to be right.

Answer 1

On your line out converter is adjustments turn them down with a small screwdriver there should be a left and a right adjustment.You have to turn down the converter if the speakers are still jumping then the converter is bad they are made cheap so be carefull when this happens its called clipping and its caused by a bad ground in the rca's or the converter even though they are brand new they can be bad from the factory or from your rushed install

Answer 2

im not sure what your question is. its kind of confusing. check to make sure that all the wires you spliced to hook up the LOC are in the correct place. I have only installed one LOC in my lifetime and I didnt have that problem, but I can see how if you have the wires wrong the music signal could be messed up.

if you're talking about the volume, as in the subwoofer volume is louder than the speakers even when you turn the music down then try turning the amp gains down.

thats all i can think of. check all your gains, amp and headunit. and check your wiring. with 8 wires to splice into to get a LOC to run it can be easy to mix one or two of them up.

It seems like a ground loop problem, to test, turn the car radio and amp off, unplug the RCA's from the amp, turn the radio car radio and amp back on, do the "bass hits" continue? If they stop the problem is with the ground, you need to make sure the ground at the amp is solid and to bare metal, if the surface is painted use sand paper to get to metal. At the LOC, there should be a ground lead, normally the RCA's would get ground from the head unit, but since you are using a LOC you need to ground the LOC, make sure it is grounded to a bare metal surface as well. If all you are getting is this thump, then you might have the connections to the speaker outputs wrong, If you are unsure which are which, your best bet is to tap in where the sire actually connects to the rear speakers, then you will know for sure, be sure to get polarity right also.
