Default What converter do I need?

Okay guys so I keep getting different answers on this question. I currently have a Y33 Q45 with bose in it. This mean there are no RCA's on the deck or anything like that. Now a lot of stock system come with stock subs, mine does now. I have two mid-bass subs. I know I need to tap into one of those but i'm not sure what converter I need to get. Do I need a hi/lo converter? A line Level converter? Or a Line out converter?

Thanks,
Elliott

Are you wanting to power the subs with an aftermarket amp? If so, you need a line level converter. You will feed the high power line from the OEM amp into the converter, the converter will do its thing and lower it to pre-amp level, then out that goes into your aftermarket amp to power the subs.
