Multiple Line Output Converters
Is it neccessary to have more than one line output converter. I'm currently planning on hooking up my 5-Channel Alpine V12 amp to my 5th Gen Non-Bose HU. I was concerned that if I play CD's that divide different sound front to back but I only have my Amp amplifying sound from the rear speaker outputs, that I would lose the sound sent to the factory front speaker outputs. Would hooking up 2 line output converters solve this problem, or would this be redundant. I also just bought one line out put converter. It has 5 wires. Four of these wires are obviously the speaker wires, but I don't know what the fourth is. Is this a power wire to help "pre-amp" the signal, or is this a ground wire? Any help and/or advise is appreciated.

Line Output Converters
I am still trying to find out what the 5th speaker-type wire coming out of my line level converter is. I understand the four wires to tap into the speaker wires, and I understand the RCA outs to go to my amp. However, I'm still confused what the fifth wire is. Power, Ground, Remote Power, etc.? Any help is appreciated.

Re: Line Output Converters
It is a ground wire. What model adapter do you have?
