Default installing aftermarket amp.
Hey guys, new to the board here but seems like the right place to get help. I bought a amp and two 10's to put in my 01 vert. I am using the factory radio and the guy at best buy sold me a line converter for the RCA jacks. He said all I had to do was tap in before the factory amp. Can I use this or do I have to have a bose interface? If I can where are the factory amps?

there is a plug and play adapter available someone will chime in with a model number but you can splice in behind the headunit and it will work fine

Hello,
You need a PAC-OEM-VET1 interface... It will give you the RCA outputs you need for your aftermarket amp...
Good luck with your project!

You do not have to get the pac adapter its plug and play which means no splicing but the LOC will work
