SoundQubed Active 5-Channel Car Audio Line Out Convertor - High to Low Head Unit Signal Convertor

I dont know what everyone is talking with screws coming loose. But maybe I was different as I didn't try to install it in place. I hooked everything up before putting it in my car, and those screws are tightened down and don't move. I could see where installing it in place could create that fiasco. But I hooked up a wire harness to it in bed and its solid. Small enough to jam somewhere into my dash, and works as it should. Also I don't have my accessory wire (Remote in) hooked to anything, it auto starts up and shuts down with the car so I'm not killing my battery.

This LOC will take 4 channels off of a factory system and convert the signal to usable output voltage for those 4 channels while adding a subwoofer channel. There is nothing else out there that I could find that would do this for the money. I am sure that there are units out there that would sound slightly cleaner, but not by a considerable margin. We are talking diminishing returns here. The main issue is working around your factory system's built in EQ/ Bass management system. Unless you are spending 3X as much you will not get that, and even then, that is just for the bass management. To be able to cancel out the EQ completely/ tune to your desired levels you'll need a DSP. So, name your price there. I bought an $18 LOC from DS18 and it was trash. I am not saying everything from DS18 is trash, I am just saying you get what you pay for. You can get bare wires in there, but I would not use anything over 18 gauge, and be sure that both the wires and the unit are mounted securely and not bouncing around with the car. They will probably fall out eventually. I am satisfied with this purchase.

Installed and works very well....BUT...connections aren't good making a solid electronic piece no good for real use in an install.

I put this in a 2020 Kia Optima to run 4 door speakers and 1 sub from the factory nav/head unit and it goes to 2 different amps so let me tell you that thing is worth every penny don’t buy from Walmart and get a cheap one that lets engine noise thru this thing is awesome

Bought one and it was defective and was replaced in a day so the car stayed in pieces for that amount of time then the new one Worked great for the 32 days now i cant return it it cuts in n out badly now i gotta spend more $ on something else very disappointed and have to pay for labor for a 2nd time smh……
