I would love to keep my oem deck in my xtype,I am wondering if there is a way to hook up my components and sub,both of which I have amps for.to this deck.I do not have the premium system.Is this possible lads?.Is there a way to put a sub level adjuster or something?, for when my wifes in my baby.I hope so .thanx lads

 

Generally speaking, in regards to the sub level, you can go two ways...ok, three maybe.

(1) if the OEM deck has a subwoofer level control, and you can keep the leads going to the new amps.

(2) new amps sometimes have their own 'gain' control via a small knob you could mount up front near the deck, under seat, etc, I know Polk mono amps have them, but its not as popular as they once were.

(3) for amps that don't have this (speaking from experience), I used a PAC part that acts as a gain control, it basically goes inline of the RCAs, so you can keep the amp gain up, but control its outpult via this control.

 

I use an Audio Control LC7i, this give me a few things:

- Subwoofer adjustment
- Head unit gain control, so i can virtually eliminate all floor noise
- AUX input for my IPD/MP3/XM sat radio.

My car looks complete stock except for my tweeter pods mounted on the dash...... and the speaker box in the trunk.
