I have a 1996 Acura Integra LS. My car has a factory head unit with an Alpine 6 disk CD changer. I want to put my 1200 watt amp, along with an Alpine Type R 12" sub in the trunk. does the factory head unit have any rca preouts for the amp?? if not is there any way to install amp + sub w/o buying a new head unit??

thanks

 

rca outputs. no... there is a way to install a system without having to change out the hu... im sure someone knows what it is call.. its a box that converts the high input.. (speakers) into rcas.. i remember i saw it once at walmart for 20 bucks or so..

 

Any info on how to hook up a system without a head unit with preouts???

This is what he's referring to: http://www.scosche.com/scosche/electronic/SLC4.asp.

My buddy and I just installed one on my teg yesterday. Its a pain in the ***, but works if you wanna retain the factory look. Kicker also makes one as well, it retails for about $130 bucks. DEI makes one to but it only has two outputs as opposed to four. So far my system sounds good. I may add a Pro Line Driver to increase the voltage from the head unit to the amp.

 

the box is called a Hi/Lo converter.

 

i'm currently using the hi/lo converters made by stinger. I used to use the one made by scosche. I'll be upgrading headunits so I'll have to let these go soon. Let me know if you need them and just make me an offer.
