I understand most people know about this configuration in ForSCAN and most have an understanding of what it does.
But I believe there is one BIG misconception that you need to understand.
When you switch from "high-level" to "low-level" in ForSCAN, this is related to voltage, not input/output types. On your amplifier, DSP, etc, you still have to use the "high-level" inputs, you cannot just solder on RCA plugs and run into the low-level inputs of your amplifier. All factory radios (Regardless of ACM settings) output Differential Balanced Outputs (High-Level) and only aftermarket radios with RCA connections output Single Ended (Low-Level). There is no such thing as "low-level" in these trucks, just a lower voltage on the outputs.
ForSCAN code: 727-01-01 = External Variable=4 Volts (Not "Low-Level")
If you use "low-level" inputs on your amplifier, you will not have any type of noise rejection, to better explain, here is D'Amore Engineering explaining the differences in RCA / Signal along with John Myer from the Kicker team.
Any questions, please feel free to reach out to me and I can guide you in the right direction.
