Metra PR-LR60 60 OHM Premium Universal Load Resistor
This load resistor will solve common problems for installers adding aftermarket equipment while providing the best possible audio signal. Factory audio systems in modern vehicles are designed to mute the output of the radio and/or amplifier should a speaker fail or get disconnected. Proscenium load resistors prevent this so that installers can add aftermarket equipment. These products use specific values to allow for the best possible audio signal and safely stabilize the output of a factory audio system. They are installed on the output side of your factory radio or amplifier, allowing you to add a line output converter (LOC) or feed speaker-level inputs directly to your aftermarket amplifier.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A load resistor is used to prevent factory audio systems from muting or shutting down when a speaker is disconnected or fails. It stabilizes the output signal, allowing aftermarket audio equipment to function properly without triggering fault protections in the vehicle's premium sound system.
-
This resistor uses specific resistance values to maintain optimal audio signal strength and clarity, preventing signal loss or distortion. By stabilizing the factory audio system's output, it ensures the best possible sound quality when integrating aftermarket amplifiers or line output converters.
-
Yes, it is designed specifically for select late model vehicles equipped with separately amplified OEM premium sound systems. This compatibility ensures it effectively prevents muting or protection modes triggered by speaker output issues.
-
The load resistor is installed on the output side of the factory radio or amplifier. It allows installers to add a line output converter or feed speaker-level inputs directly to aftermarket amplifiers using a direct plug-and-play connection for ease of installation.
-
They are sold as a pair, which is ideal for managing multiple speaker outputs or stereo channels. This ensures balanced load distribution across the audio system when integrating aftermarket components.
