Hey all,

I have a Skoda Octavia and I was planning to put a single 12" in it. The Skoda has GPS built in as well as steering wheels controls etc. therefore I want to keep the headunit.

Is there anyway to get a signal to an amp the run the sub without replacing the headunit or losing any of my 4 speakers??

LOC
Line out converter.. changes your speaker lines to rca's afaik.. correct me if i'm wrong anyone.

So that way, you just run the rca's the to back, run an amp like normal, and voilla :D
Unless you mean you want to tap into it and not remove the speakers from the headunit/ don't want to amp the normal speakers

Alright, I think I understand.

To get the rear speakers I could always Split the rca's so it goes back into an amp for the back speakers.
So 2 amps. I subwoofer and 1 rear.

Thanks Ben, this really helped! :good:
