Default How do I run a stereo signal from my stock radio to an amp in the trunk???

I don't know what to look for or to plug into behind the dash on my 2003 Accord Coupe EX-L V6 Auto (without navigation) to run an amp in my trunk.

Anyone have a procedure or now how to do this?

Line level converter wires to the standard speaker outputs and lowers the signal to RCA levels for an amplifier.

Well, that doesn't create optimal sound quality.

So, if i wanted a quality line level signal, where could I get that from? Is there a set of RCA outs on the back of the stock system?

No there isn't. Are you just going to run a sub or a whole system. If it's just a sub then the quality will be more than adequate.

I still have the LOC and all as a spare but don't use it anymore.

I'd like to put an amp in the rear to run some better quality rears and doors if possible? Does anyone know the specs for our stock system (wattage to each channel), I may just replace the speakers and avoid a new amplification system as well.

If putting a sub in the rear, I'm assuming I'll have to use one of the rear speaker lines to do the conversion to line level, what do I run to the speaker than?
