Adding Audio Control LQ8i and Kenwood WA100 to Sony Package
I have a 2013 FX4 Screw Ecoboost with Sony Audio. I want to add an LQ8i and a Kenwood Powered amp/sub combo, the WA100. What would be the best way to do this and keep everything else stock?

I tapped the wires going to my Sony sub for input to my powered sub. Using the Sony and powered sub together. Sounds much better. Also replaced door speakers with Polks. All else is stock though. Also ran power from the battery and used add-a-circuit on fuse #38 for remote turn on.

I installed a LOC to the sub wires, then RCA cables from LOC to amp

Line out converter. I forgot I have an LC8i in my safe I would love to use. This would allow me to control the output levels of the while system. Should I install it before or after the sony amp?

line out convertor. Allows you to have RCA cables and some are adjustable. I used the LOC because I lost the speaker level input harness for my powered sub. Using RCA cables for input.

What if I were to use the speaker level inputs to the LC8i and split the RCA signals back to speaker level to the sony stock amp. would this improve sound quality and control the levels of all speakers?
