JL Audio XD-CLRAIC2-SW Speaker to RCA Adapter
JL Audio XD-CLRAIC2-SW Speaker to RCA Adapter — Product description
JL Audio's XD-CLRAIC2-SW is a clean, simple way to feed an aftermarket amplifier from a factory stereo that only has speaker-level outputs. It taps the speaker wires and hands your amp a proper RCA line-level signal, no head-unit swap required.
A lot of boats and cars come with a factory head unit that sounds fine on its own but has no RCA outputs. That's the problem this cable solves. The XD-CLRAIC2-SW takes the speaker-level output from your factory source and converts it to a line-level RCA signal your amplifier can actually use. You keep the stock radio, you keep the factory look, and you still get to run a real amp.
Wiring it in is straightforward. You connect the barrel connectors to the factory speaker leads, then run the RCA ends to your amp's inputs. It's a two-channel adapter, so it's a natural fit for a simple front-stage or a sub amp where you're pulling signal off the front speakers. The black jacket keeps it low-profile behind the dash or under a console.
Like the rest of JL Audio's marine gear, it's built to hold up. If you're adding your first amp to a factory system and don't want to touch the head unit, this is the honest, no-drama way to do it.
