Wiring standard headunit to amp & sub (non-Clio)

[Eliganza]

Afternoon all,

I need to find a solution to wire an amp and sub from a standard head unit with no RCA output. I'm led to believe I can use an RCA adapter to get a feed from the rear speakers and use this to get a signal to the amp, and then use a low pass filter to the sub? Can anyone tell me if I'm way off the mark here please? It's all a bit confusing.

You're on the right path dude.

I would seriously change the head unit though, standard speakers sound soo much better with a newer head unit. Get a parrot asteroid, they are awesome!

You do realise this is all your fault for planting the seed? Haha, I know a new HU is the better and easier option, but once I have an idea in my head I like to do it the hard way.

Lowe RCA cable mods, if you haven't got them use Highlevel input, it doesn't have to be a strong input either so just bridge the rear speaker cables into it. won't affect it all and so much easier, just solder it, not like my Clio when I bought it which was twisted and taped.

Lol we should've looked at it yesterday, the unit is full of audio gear. Even have a Rockford amp and sub sitting on the floor

Damn it! It only really struck me as I was driving home. "Hmm. Need more bass."

I was like 'Hmm. Need more boost' lol

There's always room for that my friend.
