I was just going to run a small amp to the stock speakers in the car using the stock head unit on my 06 xb...(yes i know, still gonna sound like crap...)...

however, i was wondering if there was even anywhere on the back of the stock deck to run my amps RCAs to? im guessing not?

thanks for the helP!

NOPE

im planing on installing an amp and a set of subs soon.
im also using the stock stereo.
ive already done some mode to my stereo (LEDs) and have see the back. no RCA plugs. but you can buy an addapter that goes from the RCAs to something elts.
i don't know what it goes to or what its called (havent made it that far yet)
but just to let you know it is posible!

 

Line Out Converter - walmart $12

 

Or SubPlug. witht the sub plug you just snap it between the stock harness and the radio and bam, RCA outs, It also has the remote wire for you amp too...

 

^yeah the SubPlug is a more exprensive route, but it will lead to an easier and cleaner install. i just used the schoche walmart special that ihateonyou mentioned, but then you have to splice into your factory wires, but im cheap though.

 

if you are not comfortable doing wiring, stripping wires and krimping connectors deffinatly spend the extra # and get the subplug with 2 sets of RCA outs, that way you can easily add another amp later if you want. the wires are all ready there, you just get another amp, and RCA cables and plug right in. if you are able to do simple wiring, save yourself $ and get the Line out converter. just remember - later on down the road when you want to upgrade your system... and you will, will you want to buy another subplug or line out converter and redo the install and all that, or would you rather get the right part now and be able to expand easily later. if you go the subplug route, and get the one made for only 1 amp, and you want to expand later on, the subplug you got will be useless you can't add to them, thats why i recomend getting the one made for 2 amp set up outright.

 

well i have two 12 and new door speakers using the stock unit and i have the adapter and it soulds fine but i am about to get the pioneer N3 for my car so i wont have to worry anymore lol
