[font="Trebuchet MS"]I have 2 12's and I was wondering if this would work the same way without having a mono amp? If so do you know what another sub speaker wire looks like.
Thanks.

Click the link in my signature to see how I installed 2 subs driven off a stereo amp. Ofcourse i made everything look stock but you'd get the idea.

Hey acribb thanks for the write up, was extremely useful, one thing thats left me confused though is why you only ran one RCA from the line out converter, the LOC has 2 RCA outputs, so why not run both RCA'S directly to the amp? In your guide you ran one RCA from the LOC and then used a Y splitter to feed 2 RCA'S in to the amp not sure why you did this, but you obviously know what your doing. I ran both RCA's directly from the LOC and it worked, but there must be a reason why you chose to do it your way. Anyone know why you would do this?

Bump for Logic7 remote on/off wiring info. Is it the same white/purple wire?

Thanks!
