Now how do you want to do it is up to you. You can either use some line out converters, the least expensive but yields the worse results, usually some amount of distortion due to the wire coils used to downgrade the voltage. My favorite would be to use a PAC adapter which uses a "vehicle specific" wire pigtail that plugs directly into the back of your factory headunit and to the PAC adapter itself. This actually will boost and filter the signal, it says 4V out but I measured almost 5.3V all the way up (40hz test tone) so it is safe to say that you can get a safe 4V+ out of it. There are also two sets out, front and rear also level adjustments on the PAC unit itself, great product. It costs a little but search e-bay, it is well worth it. This is the step I would take just before a new aftermarket head unit! Polo..  |
