^^ sure is... You'll either need A) an amp with high level inputs.. or B) a Line Output Converter to get RCA's to an amp....

do you already have an amp to run the sub with??
what impedance configuration is your Infinity sub?

i'm selling the headunit harness to RCA converter for 35bux shipped if you're interested..

with this harness converter, you just unplug the 2 plugs from the headunit, plug it into the harness and plug the harness into the headunit. harness has the rca outs, and remote wire

Line out converter would be cheapest and there are some harnesses on ebay and arround here that are easier to use and offer RCA out but cost more..

the wires need to be tapped into the stock speakers..... 18 ga. speaker wire should suffice well...
