Do you need RCA wires for an amplifier?
Many amplifiers have high-level inputs and do not require RCA signal wires to operate. Check the polarity of the speaker wires before connecting the L.O.C. Reversing the polarity will result in a loss of volume, poor sound quality, and possible damage to equipment.
Can a speaker be converted to an RCA signal?
These will convert the speaker-level output into an RCA signal, which will allow the connection to an amplifier. If you are looking to install a line output converter to deal with this situation, here are the steps and tips to get the job done!
What kind of RCA cable do I need for a subwoofer?
RCA cables come in stereo pairs, in various lengths. When running new speaker wires from your amplifier’s output to the speakers, any size wire from 18- to 14-gauge will work fine. (The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire.) For subwoofers, use 16- to 12-gauge wires. Where should I mount my amp?
How do you connect a line output converter to an amplifier?
Lastly, you will plug in the RCA cables to the line output converter and run and connect the RCA cables to the amplifier. If using the remote wiring you will also need to run that to the amplifier at this time. On a LOC that uses speaker connector terminals like the Scosche SLC-4, the process will be similar, but with just fewer steps.
Is there a way to hook up an amp without a RCA jack?
Hook-Up Amp Using Line Output Converter (LOC) A line output converter speaker level signals to RCA signals that are used by an amplifier. These are mostly used with two-channel or mono channel amplifiers. You can use this method to hook up your amp without RCA jacks.
These will convert the speaker-level output into an RCA signal, which will allow the connection to an amplifier. If you are looking to install a line output converter to deal with this situation, here are the steps and tips to get the job done!

Next, make the proper connections, such as the front left to the front left, front right to the front right, etc. Use butt connectors (some prefer to solder) and wire crimpers to finalize. Add electrical tape around the connection and proceed until all wires are correctly connected together.
