How to unlock a factory car stereo?

Hooking a subwoofer to a factory car stereo - troubleshooting help?

  • I am hooking up an amplifier to the factory stereo in my 2007 Infiniti G35. I am using a line output converter and tapping into the rear speaker wires for the signal. If I hook up the LOC and then turn the car on, I get no sound at all from the sub or the interior speakers. If i disconnect the speaker wire running to the LOC while the car is on, the sound will start working through the interior speakers. If I re-attach the speaker wire to the LOC while the car is on and the interior speakers are working, everything works. But, if I turn the car off and back on, I am back to having no sound at all. I'm stumped. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • Answer:

    all i can say is to check that you wired everything right. Did you splice or cut your wires? you should have spliced into the wires with wire splices, not cut them. if you spliced into them i don't see why it wouldn't work.

When the LOC is hooked up does your subwoofer amp turn on? did you hook everything up on the sub amp correctly (power, ground, remote wire)? The intereior speakers not playing sounds weird to me. I've only installed a LOC once in my sisters car. when I did it though I pulled out the stereo and spliced into all the speaker wires instead of just using the rear ones. I would check the instructions to make sure that you're hooking it up correctly and that you aren' possibly crossing any wires or anything. It could be that only using the rear speakers puts too much of a load on the headunit so that it doesn't play out of those channels. but that's just a guess.
