If my amp does not have a speaker level output and my stereo does not have RCA outputs how do i hook it up?

You will need what is called an L.O.C., which is a line output converter. It is used to convert speaker lines into an RCA output. Some LOCs are available for OEM intergration, which are very expensive, and then some are available for OEM intergration, but aren't to OEM specs, as they are universal LOCs, such as the Scosche SLC4, which is available for $20 from Crutchfield.com

How do you hook up fractory stereo to amp?
With a line output converter. Converts high level speaker outputs to low level line (RCA) inputs. Raptor install accessories part #LOCA25.
What does sound travel through to get to the amplifier?
sound travels from your source, a.k.a. in dash CD player, thru a pre-amplifier (RCA output) and then thru the rca cables that you hook up to the back of your source to the amplifier. If you are not using the pre-amp from the stereo. (RCA outputs) you can use a high level output adapter, which you connect to the speaker leads from the bacck of your source unit. The high level aka speaker level adapter changes your speaker wires on the back of your CD player to RCA outputs. from the high level adapter you then run RCA cables to your amplifier. Some amplifiers have a high level adapter built into them, which does not require the use of an external speaker level adapter, and your speaker wires can run directly into the aftermarket amplifier.
Do 1999 Tacoma prerunner's have high level outputs in the factory stereo?
yes they are high level or speaker outputs anywhere in the 3 to 15 watt range if they were low level they would have insulated rca outputs. depending on your system they can go into a factory amp and boost the wattage or just go straight to speakers most have booster amp
I currently own two Monitor speakers M Audio Bx5a hooked up with a splitter to my computerx I now want to buy an F12 and add it to the systemx How does it work without a receiver?
The BIC F12 has speaker-level stereo inputs and outputs, but the only line-level inputs is a single RCA cable. You won't want to split the signal to push both channels into this sub, as this will force your sound into mono. You could connect the sub to one channel of the BX5a's, but you would only hear the low frequencies of one side. The best way to solve this is to get a little monitor speaker controller, such as the Behringer MON800. Connect the output of the computer to the line input, and connect the A speaker outputs to the BX5as. You can then use a RCA splitter and send the signal from the B or C output to the sub, since it is isolated from the A output. Bonus - you get a separate sub volume control!
Sony Xplod XM-1652z 1000watt amp for my car and it has a high power input spot what does this do i have the connector but what do you connect to it and what does it do?
It's so you can use your stereo speaker output wires to the amp without having to use RCA cables It should say High Level Input and you use it or RCA cables. Not both. If you plan on using the amp to power subs use RCAs. If you plan on running mids and highs you can use what you like. If your stereo has front and/or rear RCA outputs as well as sub output it's your call
How can use the word Speaker in a sentence?
The stereo speaker was sitting at eye level on the shelf. The speaker was promoting the use of organic methods for farming.
Can you connect a two-way radio external speaker output to the stereo speakers so that it will override the stereo signal when you get a call?
Yes, absolutely you can. The difficulty is that the controller needed to do the job is not something that can be bought off the shelf. Here is one idea to make the system work: First, take the output from the communications radio and establish the signal characteristics. You may need an attenuator to reduce the voltage of the signal. Once the signal is at the right level, it will need to be connected to an input on the stereo. Additionally, a sensor that will detect an audio signal on the comms radio output or a sensor that detects a valid radio signal on the comms radio is needed. Use the sensor output to trigger a switch from the current input to the comms radio input on the stereo. As an alternative, the same sensor output can be used to switch the speaker signal from the stereo to the comms radio. You will need a separate amplifier to do this as well as a suitable signal switcher to select either of the two speaker signals. The solution is not particularly difficult for an engineer to produce but it is not a straightforward job either.
How do you install amp to a durabrand db1215 car stereo?
due to fact there are no rca outputs you must purchase a line level converter, which has RCA type jacks.
Can you run an amp without a sub?
You probably could run your subwoofer off of the rear speaker outputs of your head unit, but you probably would not like the result. It takes a great deal of energy to make bass tones and the power output of your radio is relatively limited. The 'subwoofer volume' option is so that you can set the line-level output to a separate subwoofer amplifier and keep the subwoofer level proportionate to the main sound output. Good luck.
What is Tri-state logic?
Electronic logic uses just two states, high and low voltage, or "1" and "0". The output of a gate will always be at one value or the other. This is convenient when only a single output is used to drive a signal. In some cases, it is useful to have two or more outputs driving the same signal line. However, if two outputs are linked together, if they have different outputs, there is likely to be damage to the outputs and the level on the line will be un-predictable. A tri-state output has the same high and low levels as standard logic outputs but it has a third state, namely high impedance. A high impedance state means that the output is not transferred to the line so effectively, the output is simply turned off. Another logic gate can now drive the line and the level is entirely predictable. Numerous outputs can now drive a single line as long as only on is turned on at any time.

What type of stereo amplifier will match with the stock stereo unit on a 2000 Impala?
If you plan on keeping the original stereo in the car, and simply want to upgrade, you would need an amplifier with a High Level Input. That allows you to splice the signal from the speaker wires (since factory decks dont have RCA outputs). But you can also buy a high level input converter from a car audio shop for cheap, and that will allow any amp to hook up to it. If you plan on amping the factory speakers though, you might want to reconsider. Unless you have a factory upgraded stereo, your speakers are generally made out of paper. I hope that was helpful!
