I have an aftermarket sub and amp hooked up on a loc using rear speakers for rca input after playing it hard for a few minutes receiver doesn’t allow me to turn it all the way up and door speakers sound a little distorted

First of all Welcome to the forum Jearmold82! Try this remove the loc, then play the music see if it will turn all the way up. If it does you might have a bad LOC or you might need a different kind of LOC that uses independent power supply.

I have done this previously it does operate fine without the loc but it also operates fine if I turn my amp gain down it just doesn’t operate well after a few minutes of really loud bass kind of wondering if there is a factory amp in this car if so maybe I should pick my input up on speaker wires coming out of factory head unit instead of right before it goes into the speakers
Not sure about the factory amp. I am also wondering if this has a factory amp. You can follow the wiring see where it ends up. Good luck and let me know.
Hello,Jearnold82, I have this set up, haven't have had issues, Rockford Fosgate Package
What I just rememembered I did not mentioned there is that I have a 2 amp installation kit with fuses for each amp, this is the kit I am using, EFX PAD8BX Wiring Kit

If you only want to run an amplifier and sub, then get a 2 channel LOC, set it for low pass and remember, you will then loose your rear speakers

why would you ad an amp the system has loud bass anyway they use rockfordfosgate subs in the door panels and the stock system is more than adiquate

Because my car, IS the most basic model(5MT, electric windows & locks as extras) and has the AM/FM/USB radio, with full range speakers ...

Music appreciation is not the same for all, that said, I would NEVER order in a car like this, the 'top of the line stereo' for me, is not adecuate, there is always room to improve

That said, this IS my point of view
