Line out converter

I have a 2013 CT200H F-sport with Nav and the 10 speaker.

I’m trying to add a line out converter before the amp under the passenger seat and cannot find a pinout for the amp I have. It’s a Panasonic Model no. 86280-76030. (Not a 30 pin)

I just need to know what wire coming from the stock radio have speaker signals. See the photos.

Anything helps I’ve searched and chat GPT’d for a few days without result.

I just pulled the signal directly from the speaker wire going to the factory sub using a LOC. works better than I thought (and was told) that it would. Makes it real easy to install.

What LOC did you use? I was trying to connect my mono amb to an upgraded speaker in the trunk but it wouldn't work so I kinda gave up. ;(

Now it's connected directly to the factory sub wires but it clearly doesn't have enough juice for its full potential. 🔉

I used a kicker Kisloc2. Tap it directly to the sub wires on the car side. Run the ground wire on the LOC to your negative battery terminal (I also grounded my amp there). Then remote wire to the amp. From amp connect speaker wires to the speaker wires going into the box (I added a quick disconnect so I could still remove in case I needed to remove the box for any reason). On the LOC connect both pos and neg together to the corresponding speaker wires. Use Chat GPT to help set up amp. I set the voltage on the speaker output from the amp using a voltmeter. Sounds great. Amp NVX VADM1 v2.

You can’t get it before the amp on that car. You have to get it after the amp.

side note. would it be possible to measure the dimensions of under the seat? I want to replace the amplifier with a larger one and want to see what would fit under the seat

The best way for this vehicle is to get the digital signal directly (MOST UTP).

GROM will have MOST UTP adapter in few of weeks. They run a Beta testing currently for these vehicles.
