Awesome thread, kudos to whoever started this one and contributed to it

Question: looks like to intercept the signal to feed it into an aftermarket amp, we can either use pins 1-5/ 2-6 (amplified) or 3-9/4-10 (presumably high level as well just not yet subject to another amplification).

Which pins did you guys use for your project?

(Background: I am looking just to add a sub, keeping stock amp for front woofers.. kinda makes sense to use 1-5/2-6 to get a nice and strong signal for my sub???)

thanks
I would use 3-9/4-10, every step of amplification technically adds noise, so HU is step 1, stock amp is step 2, if you wire your LOC on the amped out, then its going to be a 3rd step, whereas before it gets the same signal as the stock amp does, which makes the sub amp an additional step 2. if your amp takes high level inputs you can forego using a LOC as well.


My thoughts anyways, I'm not an expert, just a hobbyist
