What is a Line Output Converter (LOC)?
A Line Output Converter (LOC) is an essential car audio device that converts high-level speaker outputs from a factory radio or amplifier into low-level RCA signals that aftermarket amplifiers can use.
Why Do You Need a Line Output Converter?
Most factory head units do not have dedicated RCA preamp outputs. A LOC bridges the gap by stepping down high-voltage speaker signals (typically 2–20 volts) into clean low-level signals (0.5V–5V) suitable for amplifiers.
Types of Line Output Converters
| Type | Power Source | Advantages | Disadvantages | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Passive LOC | No power needed | Simple, inexpensive, reliable | Lower output, potential bass loss | Basic systems |
| Active LOC | Requires +12V power | Higher output, cleaner signal, adjustable gain | More expensive | High-performance systems |
Key Features
- High-level speaker wire inputs
- Low-level RCA outputs (2 or 4 channels)
- Gain control for output level adjustment
- Ground isolation to reduce noise
- Remote turn-on output with signal sense
- Vehicle-specific T-harnesses (plug & play)
Common Applications
- Adding aftermarket subwoofers and amplifiers
- Upgrading factory speakers with external amplification
- Integrating DSP processors
- Creating hybrid factory + aftermarket audio systems
Pro Tip: For vehicles with multiple amplifiers, an SPDT relay is often recommended for proper remote turn-on functionality.
Wiring Harnesses Explained
What do all of the wire colors mean? Aftermarket manufacturers have made car stereo receiver installation an easier process by using a standardized wire color scheme. We walk you through what each individual wire does, this way if you have an installation that doesn't perform properly you will have the resources to begin troubleshooting your installation.
