I love the Factory system but want to add my old system to it. I have a Alpine-450 Amp with a single Infinity 12" dvc Sub. I have read about needing a line output converter, but also heard that if your amp has speaker inputs you don't need the converter. So, my question is how do I wire my system?? I have always worked with aftermarket H/U not OEM ones. HELP !!!

Here is a pic of the amp I have. See the speaker inputs... What connectors would you use?

You need high level input adapters for that... I actually think I have a pair at the house in storage, I'll look for them, if I find them, I'll send them to you... didn't your amp come with the adapters?

Also, do you have the Bose system?? If so, I would use the line out converter in order to bypass the factory amp! PAC makes one and scosche makes one!

SLC-4 and FAI-3 from scosche... I looked on the PAc website, but everything was for older models... , again, these are if you have the Bose system... if you don't have the BOSE system, then you can simply pig tail off of your rear speaker terminals, and run the wire to the amp using the High level input adapters I send you! Lemme know if you have the BOSE, and I can direct you better from there

No I don't have the Bose system. Come to think of it I might have them, but I doubt it. I will let you know. Thanks though.
