I just picked up a 2013 Taurus sel. I ran all the wires for a amp and sub. Kicker L7 12" and a kicker 1500.1. I'm leaving the factory head unit since it's fully loaded. My question now is where do I install the line output converter (LOC)? I tried the rear speakers and it blew my head unit fuse twice. So any other place I can install this?

When you say rear speakers are you talking about the subs in the rear deck or rear door?

Ok, that's where most people who just add an amp connect to. Don't have any experience with the metro LOC. Never heard of popping a radio fuse with a LOC...
How are the gains set on the LOC.
A few members here have had good luck with this  http://www.amazon.com/AudioControl-2-Channel-Converter-Subwoofer-Control/dp/B004CTBYGE.
If you have the Sony premium sound the rear deck is subs only. And they're crossed over pretty high. If you want a full range signal and have your amp do the crossover work you need to tie into the rear doors.
All this can be done at the radio/amp interface in the trunk drivers side.

Update....
Used the rear left passage speaker and it works wonders now.
