Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / February 2004Ok to use longer wires for line converter?
I have a high-low converter i bought from walmart. It's mounted behin my dash and taps into the front channels and converts to rca for m amp. Problem is.. Apparently this scosche walmart brand junk is pickin up a huge load of interference probably from all the wiring behind th dash. If i mount the converter in the trunk, and run speaker wire al the way from the dash to the trunk, will I pick up more engine nois using speaker wire than an rca? and by the time it reaches the trunk will the signal have dilapidated by a noticeable quanitity? Which wir is more efficient in transferring a signal along about 15 ft of wirin basically my question.. - heyitsse ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CarAudioForum.com - Usenet Gateway w/over one million posts online View this thread: http://www.caraudioforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=17462 > I have a high-low converter i bought from walmart.

It will be lossless either way. There won't be a significant voltage drop no matter which way you do it. Deal with the noise. Don't worry about losing signal. Why not wire the converter to the back speakers then instead of wiring it back behind the radio? Unless your speakers are in the rear doors. > I have a high-low converter i bought from walmart.
