blownengine Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 It is completely possible. What amp is it? Come have "high level" inputs. Which basically means you can wire them using the factory stereo.

Winn Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Or a thing called a line out converter takes speaker wire and converts to RCA (high to low) Quote You know how you avoid that?

alehound Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 You could spend a 100 bucks on a low end aftermarket alpine/kenwood head unit that will likely have ipod/usb hookups, as well as the RCA outputs you are looking for. After all, you havent even spent a dime yet right? Quote Patiently waiting until 2016...the year in which I likely get to 300 posts... In which then, and only then, will I finally be able to get me some more decaf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blownengine Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 My first head unit was a $100 Kenwood. It was a great starter head unit.
