    ok so i got this flip out and the pre outs do not work. im not able to buy a new deck for awhile and i have a mono block amp so i only have rca inputs on it. would a line converter (the thing that changes wires to rca's) work? i know im not going to get the same sound as rca's but id like to use my subs until i can get a new deck. any info would be great-

    edit: im only going to use the converter for my subs. i do not have my mids/high's amp'd they run off the deck.

    its a jensen uv8, i went ahead and installed the converter and everything works now. it works way better than i thought it would, at least now i can play my system.

    is there maybe a setting that allows you to turn the subs on and off? my deck has that option.

    yes there is. with it on or off it just plays an interferance noise. you can hear a lil bass but the other noise is louder. i think there is just something wrong with the pre outs. this is why i hate buying used equipment. i checked all my wiring and with the converter i get no interference. idk...

    did you check to make sure that it wasn't your RCA's that were the problem?

    if your gonna buy a LOC then do a quick search on the forum. I forgot what the name is but ranger recommended a very good LOC.
