The sony amp is trash. I just tapped off the factory sub wires and plugged them into the high level input on my real amp. Sounds amazing... Doing it this way is the same as a line out converter....

Good deal. I didn't know that the amp was crappy too. I thought it was just the sub.

Oh and BTW it is not the same as using a line out converter.
What you are doing now is taking an already amplified signal and boosting it with your new amp.
With a line out converter or preouts on the back of a radio you will be taking a non amplified signal and boosting it. By doing that you are providing a cleaner signal to your new amp.

You're not necessarily boosting a signal in fact you are lowering the voltages and amperage to create something you mentioned earlier, "preout" signals. Also don't take the high level outputs from the Sony amplifier. LOCs have certain wattage handling specifications, and if you exceeds these specs you will literally melt the LOC. If you do use amplified signals then tap into the rear speaker signals after the amp because the wattage peaks are much lower than a sub output.

So in regards to the PAC AOEM FRD24 harness working with Sony premium system... Doesn't work I just spent all afternoon installing 2 10" CVT's with a Kicker ZX400.1 amp and the sub volume through the amp is NOT controlled through the factory radio. Also I connected the two REAR RCA outputs and didn't get any audio response, front worked, but like I said - Radio doesn't control volume, it's stagnant based on the volume level set on the PAC harness L/R.
Hope this helps someone else from wasting their time!
Going with a high>low line output converter.

FRD-24 is working fine with my Sony 700 watt 6 disc with SYNC, no sub.

4 new door speakers, and 4 channel amp.

I didn't know you could do the Sony 700w system without the sub?

I'll have to double check, but I'm almost positive the window sticker said it was 700 watt. Maybe I'm wrong.

Either way, it's working with my sync w 6 disc
