(pretty much any car audio shop has these too)

i would strongly recomend getting an aftermarket head unit though. It gives you much more control of the pre-amp outputs, EQ, and will sound much better.

What is that thing doing? There is nothing on the stock head unit for it to connect to.

I put two 12's in my '04 with a stock head unit. It was real easy, but was over 4yrs ago. I think I just jacked sound from my rear speakers and just found a constant hot wire to jack power for my (what the heck you call it line).

I don't think I ever even pulled my radio out of the dash.

Maybe I'm wrong, but to me it sounds like you are looking for something like this.




Scosche SLC4 Four-channel line output converter at Crutchfield.com

Super cheap too. Local audio shops around where I live are charging over $100 for similar products. Have a look around first.
