So do us Tweeter guys.....Pac,audio link,xtant any good brand name...avoid the ones with a power line in them...you are just asking for trouble.....so i guess you have the answer.

I had a thought...has anyone taken or made rca's ( yes it can be done) and connected speaper output directly to them and feed this into the amp...I see what im gonna be doing this weekend.

You're gonna clip the amp and possibly fry the circuitry doing that.

I have a 10band MTX EQ that has high and low level inputs. So thats what I used with my stock deck. Plugs into a Fosgate Punch 200ix, and a PPI Flat Piston 10. Sounds alright, I need a new deck though. Stock just isnt cuttin it!

xtant actually claims that thier inputs are so strong and that they amplify the signal enough that they say you can do that (x series amps only). it actually works....well

yes they are...that where it got the idea from...and i was thinking since most amps can handle a 2volt avg input ( and im not some yahoo who wants to do this)..I planned on doing a little expriment this weekend...this should be fun.

Disclaimer:the following actions are being performed by a trained professional with many years of experience and a grasp of the inner workings of 12 volt electronics....In no way is this an endorsement of either Honda-Tech or its moderators...Proceed at your own risk...close before striking...look both ways..dont try this at home...Yada yada yada.....
In other words:If you **** up ya ****...you is a DumbAzz and you have been warned.

We now return you to the regular programming now in progress.....

most of the line level converters I know of use a step transformer in them. You could try to use resistors to build a voltage divider. I think this is what the cheaper convertors use.
