Line out converter

Does anyone know what wires I can tap into to install my aftermarket subwoofer and where they're located?

You tap into the under seat subs. The LOC should tap into 4 wires total. You'll tap into the wires from the amp, which is in the trunk. As far as wire colors go check the diagrams already posted in this forum.

It depends on which system you have. Base, hifi or, logic 7. Technic makes a harness for the logic 7 system that will allow you to add a sub without cutting or splicing any wires.

Honestly this question has been asked hundreds of times.

That was helpful. After searching I still don't see how I can install a line out converter or where to tap.

What about a whole new custom HU altogether?

Check to see if you have an OEM Amp in the trunk, if you do, then you have HiFi or Logic7.

If you check with user Technic, he makes a custom harness which makes it plug and play to add an LOC to the car along with remote turn-on and everything.

Odd for him not to respond. I'd try him one more time. I just bought a harness two weeks back from him to add a BSW Subwoofer to my Logic 7 equipped car without having to cut any wires and it works flawlessly. Even came with a secondary pigtail to power my underseat woofers via amplifier if I wanted to.
