Do I need a new head unit?
Do I need a new head unit?
Hey guys, I want to get two subs and an amp installed, and I was wondering if I needed a new headunit or not... at Best Buy the tech told me that with Chevy head units, you can't get the right oomph unless you install an aftermarket head unit, but an independent place told me they'd never heard that before... what do you guys think?

U need a line out converter. I did it that way before i got my new head unit. They're maybe $20 or so at best buy. Just splice into the stock subwoofer wires. It's fairly simple and works pretty well.
honestly the bby guy is technically correct... the gm bass eq is bullshit and at ~70% or so it starts getting quieter. but doesnt mean u have to get a HU
oh and if u opt to install a LOC thats perfectly fine just dont listen to that how to that shows u how to do it with alligator clips. thats some ghetto ass bullshit
