wiring a line output converter

Hi, I'm installing a sub with the factory deck on my 02 2.5TS. I have everything wired, except for the line output converter. Does anyone know where I can find the wiring specs for the factory deck? I don't know which wires are which in the harness. Thanks

Don't forget you will probably have to tap into the ignition for the remote wire to the amp. At least I don't think there is anything like that on the stock deck.

Let me know what you have to do as I need to install an LOC also...

Yes, but you still need to run the remote turn-on wire for the amp, unless you get a switch to turn the power on an off (pain in the butt)...

Yes, to hook up the LOC, you only need to tap into the rear speakers. Piece of cake...

You'll want to tap into pins 4, 5, 12, 13 and 10 for switched power. I haven't tried it as I'm not running the stock components, but hopefully this puts you in the right direction.

Yeah I did some searching and found the ravensblade diagram. Originally I had found some diagram for a wiring harness from crutchfield that had everything right except for the switched power (10). So as soon as I hooked that in it worked perfectly. Thanks for the advice... On a related note, I noticed the north america subaru impreza club owners association website (i might have the acronym wrong, but i'm in a rush...) had a FAQ for stereo install as a sticky subject, with links to ravens blade. Maybe something like that here might be useful?

So you don't need to tap into the ignition for switched power? All I have to do is run the wire from the amp to the back of the HU and tap into pin #10? Is that right?
