  • did its job, easy to install.
no complaints. sounds great. very compact and easy to hide. i snatched the signal from the rear speakers under the parcel shelf so i simply ziptied it underneath. very easy, secure, and out of sight. sound quality is excellent as well.

  • DS18 best Hi/lo converter
The best Hi/lo converter I've ever used and I've used a few. I used this on a 2021 Camry SE (no jbl audio) I added a Red Wolf t-harness and connected this DS18 to it. perfect no amp winding, no need to find remote wire, because of speaker turn on.. worked awesome. Definitely recommend.

Used this to add a subwoofer to an RX-350. Works great! I really only am using it for a remote turn on.

  • Very disappointed and am returning this product
Nothing but issues. This LOC was causing tons of vehicle noise to come through my amp (Engine noise, door locks, reverse, and when I shut the vehicle off it made a very loud thump). On music the signal was very distorted and unlevel (certain parts of songs the signal would sky rocket on the bass) this thing will damage your amps or subs. I thought DS18 was a good name brand but I switched to a different brand LOC (active not passive) and the one I have now works perfectly! I have been doing car audio for a long time and this product is definitely not good. ... show more

  • Great Product and Company, Unfortunately a Passive LOC is Not Suitable for My Vehicle
The DS18 V2HL.V2 Line Output Converter is, in itself an excellent device. However, I believe my experience with it is unique to me due in part of how my car's electronics work (2017 Audi A3). The bass the DS18 reproduces sounded great, really loved it, but then I would hear "thump/humffpp" sound from the subwoofer whenever the car door is opened, and pops when car is started, and "thump/humfp" again when the car is turned off. To hopefully isolate the issue, I went through a long process of troubleshooting: (1) I "played" with the amp's Infrasonic Filter, Input Sensitivity, Bass Boost, and LPF Frequency settings, applying values from default to recommended to optimal and in-betweens, but to no avail; (2) with the exception of the 12v and Ground wires (4 AWG), I rewired everything with 14 AWG and with new connectors but the issue persisted; (3) hooked up an old 2CH Amp and got the same result; and finally (4) I bypassed the DS18 V2HL.V2 and connected all leads to the amp's Speaker Level Input where everything worked and pops/thumps disappeared, but of course the sound quality is extremely degraded. So I reconnected everything back together (to include the DS18) and resigned to "I'll just have to live with the pops and thumps" attitude but after a few days, the red LED on the DS18 stopped to turn on, and eventually the device seemed to have ceased working altogether as the sub would not produce any sound anymore. The manufacturer recommended to RMA the device for a replacement, but after some contemplation and research, I thought of getting an active LOC to see if the problem will go away, which I did and at this time, it is working without the pops and thumps. In conclusion, the DS18 V2HL.V2 is a great and affordable device, and great company as well that is why I opted for DS18 product in the first place. But I believe for my particular application, I found that an active LOC is suitable due to how the car's electronics are engaged upon just opening the door, thus the pops and thumps. Thank you to DS18 manufacturer for offering a replacement. ... show more
