From what I've read here, I need an LOC that will convert the differential balanced signals to standard single-ended inputs. I was discussing this with my friend, and he recomended the MTX RE-Q, because he said it fixes the problem of the stock HU turning down your bass at higher volumes. However, I'm unsure if it will convert differential balanced to single-ended. I could go with an LOC that I know does this, but will this other LOC prevent the bass from being choked by the stock HU? I just don't know... The only thing I know that will do what I want, is the JL Cleansweep, but my system is very low-end, and basic, and I don't want to go with such an expensive solution, because it's overkill for my needs. Any ideas, pointers? Really confused here.

From my understanding the bass cutting off issue was related to the BOSE system, I am unsure if the non-Bose system works the same way. I know I have issues with my Bose system cutting off the bass from my aftermarket subs when I turn up the system after volume level 13. LOCS are not that expensive, I would use the LOCS first, and if the latter proves to be true then you can upgrade for the MTX-RE-Q or JL Cleansweep if the bass cut off gets annoying...I know it annoys me but then I just like listening to my music a tad louder. Honestly if you need to shell out over $ 300 for any of the 2 equipment you might as well go for an aftermarket unit. If you go for a single-DIN unit...u can can customize the install right where the ashtray is, this will entail relocating the Hazard button and removal of the ashtray and a little fiberglass to finish it off. There is enough space in this area and very minor modification needs to be done in regards to the upper brackets for the radio trim. This is a very viable alternative if you dont want to mess with the oem radio removal. There's also the Metra kit if you can't justify spending another $ 300 for the Double-DIN conversion.
