I didn't have any success in trying to convert the speaker level power to line level power. Lot's of distortion as if the inputs were being overdriven. The adapters were rated to 50 watts and I don't see the OEM amp over driving that. Maybe. I ended up tapping into the wiring harness to use the pre out signals from the OEM head unit. Maybe you're not hearing it because of the low pass filter in the sub.
