I have a saturn vue 08 stock stereo and would like to hook up my 2 12's and amp would this be what I need to convert my stereo?

Hi Natalie. In addition to using this unit to convert your speaker output signal to a useable signal for your amplifier, you would also need an amp wiring Kit for power from your vehicles battery, as well as a ground for your amp and a remote turn on lead (Kit usually comes with power wire, ground wire, remote turn on wire, RCA cables). Hope this helps!

Yes; if your amplifier doesn't have speaker-level inputs (RCA only) this is what you need to connect your amplifier to your stock stereo.

Yes this would you to use the stock radio for the rca connection. You would still need to find a place to plug your remote turn on for the amp. Like ignition or other acc

Yes. You will need to buy an Amp Kit too though. An amp kit is basically a collection of necessary wiring to hook up your whole sound system: head unit, car battery, amp, and subwoofers.

It's not that simple, if you don't want to cut wires you'll need adapters from Metra and Scosche. If you want good results, you might also want to invest in an aftermarket receiver or an amp as most stock units don't push out as much power.

The amp choice is really up to you and how many subs and how are you going to wire them up. I have one 12" Type R 4ohm sub wired to 2ohm. Using a Hifonics Zeus 1800 watt mono amp. Assuming that the amp is "actually" capable of pushing 1800w at 1ohm. It should be pushing 900w to the Type R. It sounds amazing in the trunk of my 96 Impala SS. Go with the 4ohm sub if youre going to use two subs, wire them down to 2ohm and find an amp capable of pushing a solid 2000w. Amps will state total power at 1ohm, 2ohm will be half that.

Yes even better you can hook 2 in parallel and have 1.5ohm load and do some major rockin excellent amp! jve had a lot of amps in my time been doing car audio since 89 testing and installing! For the money you can't beat it!

It should be....but verify ohm rating on speaker verify speakers ohm rating on speackers...most car stereo eequipment is 2-4 ohm...which I believe what the amp is rated for

You will need ta supply wire...I used 2ot wire between it an amp...Install it as close to amp as possile...

Sure, you'll just have to either buy an adapter or splice lines from the amp to the head unit.

You could use RCA out (red and white connectors) on your stereo receiver to the RCA input on the amp. Because it doesn't have speaker binding posts you can't use it to replace an amp in your system, per se, of course there are workarounds, but as a headphone amp for a CD, SACD, digital stream, etc., through your stereo receiver it should work beautifully. Hope that helps.~Christian

This will absolutely work using a 12v supply from your cigarette lighter I bought this little amp just so I could plug my mp3 into it I have a Ford Escort and in order to install a head unit I would have to buy a new face plate at $90.00 and with this I now can connect my mp3 and it works very well but beware of the quality of the 12v plug you use some can pick up electronic static while the cars engine is running !

You'll have to go to the Fender.com website and download the amp's user's manual - that should tell you what you need. I didn't own one long enough to try something like that. The amp's own speaker is very good and the amp can go very loud. If you needed 2x 12 inch speakers, you could purchase the Mustang IV which has 2x Celestion 12 inch speakers. I didn't keep the amp because I found it confusing to use and literally didn't have the time to learn to use it. Also; Google some pictures of the amp's back panel which should also answer the question.

Yeah just put the coils in parallel and then each sub per channel and you will be at 2 ohm stereo

Yes it would fit but you would need to get the mounting kit for your car...In all honesty I did not like this stereo..it malfunctioned after 3 months and I had problems using the usb port..I took mine out and reinstalled the factory stereo...if you want more power you'd definitely need an amp.

Are you talking to install it with a stock head unit? You do not need a converter box. This amplifier has a line/speaker level input that allows you to connect the speakers wires from your rear component speakers directly to the amplifier (you do not need RCA cables), you can splice into the rear speaker line on your stock system so you can keep the stock rear speakers and add the subs. You can then adjust the frequency filter on the amplifier for low frequency output to the subwoofer. Let me know if you have any more questions about this as this is exactly how I have this hooked up with my stock head unit running a Kicker L7 15" Solo Baric subwoofer, it pounds pretty good!

Should be okay. Just need the right wiring kit which would be probably a 8 gauge wire kit and the correct dash kit for your car which you can get at any local audio shop

Yes, but you will need to check the current draw of the stereo and make sure the DC-DC converter can source that much current. A higher current rating on the DC-DC converter is ok. If the stereo used 5 Amps and the DC-DC converter is rated for 10 Amps your good to go.

No it is for a car , not a home. I would look for a home stereo EQ. There will be a lot of problems you will encounter trying to make that work, for one, the power supply for the 12 volt unit. There may be a way to do it for someone with good know how. But I think you would be more satisfied with a home unit you can just plug and play.
