Installing a car audio system with factory oem/factory head-unit..Help!?

I'm trying to get a system installed in my 1995 Toyota Landcruiser. Here is the problem. I don't have a aftermarket headunit. I will probably look to upgrade this later but for now I need help installing my system without it. I bought a line output converter. I have the amp, subs and a capacitor. Can someone please let me know how I can install my amp (REM cable + RCA) to a factory head unit using the line output converter. Thanks!!!Installing a car audio system with factory oem/factory head-unit..Help!?
you have to splice all the speaker wires, and run wire from them to the LOC. if you plan on using the stock stereo to power your car speakers still then dont cut them, just splice them( cut into the insullation and connect a 2nd wire to the bare part of the speaker wire), and make sure you put them all in the correct terminal.



then run your rca cable from the LOC to the amplifier.



next find the remote wire or ACC. wire from the stock headunit and run it to the amplifier.



Make sure you have a power wire running from the battery to the amp, and that the power wire is fused close to the battery. and make sure you have a ground wire going to the amp(u can use a bolt or some metal part of the car's body. alot of people drill a small hole in the trunk and put a screw in it to ground the wire)



If you want to use a capacitor then make sure it is connected to the amp and battery wire as well.



connect your speaker wire from the amp to the subwoofer and you should be good to goInstalling a car audio system with factory oem/factory head-unit..Help!?
it ain't hard. Didn't it come with directions?



anyhow. SHould have wires, and two holes for RCA. or RCA plugs sticking out. some are different, anyways.



If its a four channel out, there will be 8 wires, 2 channel, 4 wires.



probably 2 of each color, one with a stripe. attatch speakers wires from head unit to this. done.
