Hello,

I know this is probably a common question but I am still lost. The local audio shop wanted $400 for a new box that fits my trunk, LOC, and install. I think that is way too much so I want to try to install it my self.

I have a 2015 BRZ that still has it's stock head unit (which I do not want to replace) I already have a Kicker CompR 12in subwoofer, a Kenwood x500-1 amplifier, and all the cables. All from when it was installed my last vehicle. I do believe that I need a Line Out Converter. The AudioControl LC2i is the one I had in mind.

I have read through forum posts and youtube videos but none of the ones I have seen are super clear as they are using different amplifiers (2 vs 4 channel, RCA vs non RCA hookups) and different line out converters.

Where I am primarily confused is how do I hook up the line out converter.

Any shared knowledge/forum/videos would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
FineVisionz
