Loc question

I've been reading and reading and I get two answers.... Loc gets installed on sub wires and loc gets installed on rear deck speakers... Can someone help cause I have it on the sub wires and well right now it's not really working.

Factory hu, rf p3d4-10 inverted with reverse polarity to a massive n2 amp with gain turned down low till I figure out why it's not working first.

A LOC connects to your rear speaker wires to create a RCA signal for your aftermarket amplifier.

In my 2008 ss I tapped right before the original sub connector. I'm using a PAC sni-35 and wired it according to the shop manuals I have.

what shop manual?

do this unplug the stock sub, get a 9v battery and with some speaker wire and touch the pos/neg of the battery to a red and a black on the connector. If the sub moves then attach your LOC to those corresponding wires on the other side. then attach the 2 remaining LOC wires to the other 2 wires you have left.

Good to know. Chevy/Pioneer did it all right, just not enough power.
