This line level controller converts high-level speaker line outputs from an audio source into low-level RCA jacks for quality music listening and is compatible with most vehicles' OEM systems for wide-ranging use.
Wanted to add an amp, but had an old 98 lexus stereo, since i was on a budget instead of getting a new stereo and then adding the amp, i just went ahead and had bestbuy add the line level controller,
effect: able to use stock radio and now have an amp installed.
pro: system now has bass and it booms down the road and the stock speakers (front and rear) sound great and are plenty loud to keep up with the alpine mono amp and 10" Alpine type r in the trunk.
Happy, Happy!

Had bought an amp and didn't want to mess around with running power to the trunk so had best buy do it, plus they are only 5 minutes from the house and they did a clean and good job and system is kicking!

Enhance your vehicle's audio with this Alpine MRV-M500 amplifier that features a variable low-pass-filter crossover that lets you adjust the frequency from 50Hz to 200Hz for easy customization. Enhanced shut-down performance helps ensure safe operation.
this is my second Alpine amp and it is killing it! :) The amp pushes a 10" Alpine Type R, i picked up used from craigslist and it really hits and sounds like a 12" sub.
The price was $199, but they matched an online price with crutchfield for $149, so you just can't beat that.
They don't match all online prices only with their selected competition, but luckily I found one and saved $50.
Get it, you will be very happy and by the way, I used to run the same amp a few years back on a 12" type R and that pounded so much that it was too much bass for my little vw bug that I owned.
Cheers!
