Line Out Converter
For those of you that installed a line out converter, where did you splice into the speaker wires? I know you could do it at the door speakers, but wouldn't that be more trouble than doing it behind the factory head unit? Another thing, should I disconnect the battery before unplugging the harness from the head unit before splicing wires? I've heard conflicting steps about this. Any info would be appreciated :thumb:

I haven't installed a line converter in my HHR yet, but I've done plenty of installs. You do want to hook that up to the back of the head unit, and yes always disconnect the battery when installing or uninstalling car audio equip!
The one thing I like about having the battery in the back of the car is that it will be easy to install amps, etc in the cargo area. Just need to run an rca cord and remote turn on wire from the headunit, power, ground and you're in business ;) |

What would ya'll recommend using as connectors for splicing the wires? I've never done a l.o.c. install but I have done a few sub/amp installs and I've always used the "wire nuts" that look like cones that you twist over the ends of the wires

oh yeah, avoid using electrical tape if possible. It hardly ever stays put, and not to mention it usually ends up making a big sticky mess. No professional installer I've seen uses electrical tape on audio connections??

Never planned on using electrical tape. I bought some heat shrink this morning and I'm about to go try to get this done. Hopefully I'll be able to post something good this afternoon
