will hooking up a JL W6v2 with a Alpine MRD 550 amp to a 2005 Bose HU sound decent or will it sound muffled because of the signal coming from a line converter?

 

Ack i dont know, thats a pretty woofer too torture with a stock HU :O im installing a w6v2 this weekend myself, with a jl 500/1 but im changing the head unit too a kenwood with 4.5 preouts.... it would pry sound good, but no where near what it would be if it was connected to an aftermarket HU.....

 

There are good line drivers that can step the voltage up, if you're worried about noise. As long as you get a quality product, it'll sound good. It might be a little over-bearing if you're leaving the bose system for your highs, though.

If you're afraid line drivers aren't good enough, look into some of audiocontrol's stuff, most of them incorporate a line converter and add some functionality [eq, etc. . .].

An eletronics store in my area is going out of business so I was able to pick up a $79 dollar line converter for about 20 and then got monster rca's for cheap. Got it in stalled and it sounds good. Not good enough to win SQ awards but get enough for what I need. Now I just need to work on getting the windows tinted and picking up some new wheels.

 

Glad to hear you like it! Enjoy your tunes!

Keanders...... I am kinda looking at doing the same thing. I have an MTX box w/3 10in woofers in it. Researching an amp and I gotta get a line converter too.

How does the sub blend with the rest of your system?
(Does it drown out the mid/highs?)
Did you disconnect the stock subs?
Does it rattle your trunk......hate when that happens.

Thanks
