Sold by AudioSellerz.com

Shop Sky High Car Audio Hi-Lo converters and line output converters for adding aftermarket amplifiers, subwoofers and upgraded speakers while keeping your factory radio. A hi-lo converter, also called a line output converter or LOC, converts the factory speaker-level signal into RCA-level signal for an aftermarket amplifier.

Audio Sellerz currently carries Sky High Car Audio 2-channel, 5-channel and 6-channel converter options for everything from a simple factory-radio subwoofer upgrade to a larger multi-amplifier system.

Sky High Car Audio Line Output Converters

Many factory radios do not provide the RCA preamp outputs commonly used by aftermarket amplifiers. A Sky High Car Audio line output converter allows the speaker-level signal from the factory stereo to be used with an aftermarket amplifier without requiring you to automatically replace the original radio.

These converters are useful when building systems where you want to keep factory screens, controls and other vehicle features while adding more amplifier power, upgraded speakers or a subwoofer system.

Choose the Right Sky High Hi-Lo Converter

Sky High SH-HL2 2-Channel Hi-Lo Converter

The Sky High Car Audio SH-HL2 2-Channel Hi-Lo Converter is the straightforward choice when you only need a left and right signal for an aftermarket amplifier.

A 2-channel LOC is commonly used for a factory-radio bass upgrade where a monoblock amplifier and subwoofer are being added while the stock head unit remains in the vehicle.

Sky High SH-HL5 5-Channel Hi-Lo Converter

The Sky High Car Audio SH-HL5 5-Channel Hi-Lo Converter provides additional signal channels for more complete factory-radio audio upgrades.

This type of converter makes sense when the system needs signal for multiple speaker channels plus a dedicated subwoofer stage instead of only adding bass.

Sky High SH-HL6PRO 6-Channel Hi-Lo Converter

For larger systems, the Sky High Car Audio SH-HL6PRO 6-Channel Hi-Lo Converter with Remote Bass Control provides six channels of factory-radio signal conversion and includes remote bass control.

This is the Sky High option to consider when your system needs additional channels for front, rear and subwoofer stages or when multiple aftermarket amplifiers are being integrated with the factory stereo.

Do You Need a Line Output Converter?

You generally need a line output converter when you want to connect an aftermarket amplifier to a factory radio that does not provide the RCA outputs required by your amplifier.

Some amplifiers can accept high-level speaker inputs directly, so a separate LOC is not required in every installation. Before choosing a converter, check the amplifier's available inputs and determine which factory speaker signals will be used.

For a deeper explanation, read our guide to choosing a line output converter for a factory radio.

Factory Radio Integration Matters

Factory audio systems can vary significantly from one vehicle to another. Some vehicles use factory amplifiers, processed speaker signals, frequency-limited outputs, active noise cancellation or bass reduction built into the OEM system.

A line output converter can only work with the signal it receives. For example, tapping into a factory speaker channel that does not contain the bass frequencies you need can result in weak subwoofer output even when the converter and amplifier are working correctly.

If you are planning a more complicated factory-radio system, our car audio wiring diagram guide can help you understand how the signal, amplifier, wiring and speakers fit together.

Complete the Amplifier Installation

A hi-lo converter handles the audio signal side of the installation, but the amplifier still needs the proper power, ground, fuse protection, RCA connections and supporting wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hi-lo converter?

A hi-lo converter converts a factory radio's speaker-level output into a lower-level RCA signal that can be connected to many aftermarket amplifiers. It is also commonly called a line output converter, LOC or high-to-low converter.

Can I add an amplifier without replacing my factory radio?

Yes. A line output converter is one method of connecting an aftermarket amplifier while retaining the original factory radio.

Can I use a hi-lo converter to add a subwoofer?

Yes. A 2-channel converter is commonly used when adding a monoblock amplifier and subwoofer to a factory-radio system.

When would I need a 5-channel or 6-channel converter?

A multi-channel converter is useful when you need signal for more than a simple left-and-right subwoofer input, such as front speakers, rear speakers and a dedicated subwoofer stage.

Do all aftermarket amplifiers require a line output converter?

No. Some amplifiers accept high-level speaker inputs directly. Check the specific amplifier and factory-radio system before deciding whether a separate converter is needed.

What is the difference between a hi-lo converter and a DSP?

A hi-lo converter is primarily used to convert speaker-level signal into RCA-level signal. A digital signal processor can offer additional tuning and signal-control functions depending on the processor and system design.
