Add sub and amp to Navi in EX-L??

[lunarfaze]

I have a 2012 EX-L Sedan. It does not have a premium sound upgrade that I know of (there is not sub in the back panel). I have a nice Orion sub and amp that I would like to add to my system. I have the Honda Navigation. Can I add it and keep the same Navi???

the navi is different from the Si model to the EX-L Sedan unfortunately.

you may want to shoot him a message in pm, or in his thread. See what route he went with his audio setup?

I'm sure you've gotten this taken care of but if not, yes you can add amps and speakers and subs to your existing navi system. I have the premium sound so I added a LOC between the factory amp and my amps and the sound is exponentially better than the stock system.

care to share pics of what you did?

I would love to see some photos. Also, what do you mean "LOC"? This is a new term to me.

line output converter... changes speaker wire line to rca (something like below)

This is more what I used. It does alot more than just LOC. 6 band equalizer for front, rear and subs. This bad boy allows you to tune your factory setup to your tastes. Connects to the factory amp and your aftermarket amp.

As for pictures, it would be of me giving my credit card to the guys at Audio One in VA. They do great work. I don't do any work. My avatar is the result of them working through the many stages of my stereo upgrade.

well, you can still give them credit. I was just curious to see how it looked, or what your setup was like. ^That still helps

 

[Ron C. Todd Jr.]

Hmm, ok, I'll take some pics of the amps, crossovers, LOC and focus on the wiring and see if that helps!

 

[lunarfaze]

OK, so if adding a sub to the rear speakers, do I need two (2) of the LOCs spliced into the existing speaker wires, then combine the RCA outputs on each LOC to one for the amp and sub (one speaker sub)?

 

[Ron C. Todd Jr.]

No, one will work for your entire system. This is the one I had before I got the LCQ-1. There are cheaper ones out there. If you are going to DIY I would check out Crutchfield. Their tech support is great and they'll hook you up.

Somehow I don't think this helps much.

how many speakers are in the box? Looks like a ton of speaker lines?

 

[Ron C. Todd Jr.]

One sub, 2 Tweets and 2 Mids in front stage, 2 Tweets and 2 Mids in rear stage. So 7 total.

or 9 if I could add
