Default Aftermarket Amplifier with Stock Head-Unit

Hiya!

I recently purchased a 2001 Honda Civic EX and I'm transferring my stereo from my old car into my new one

Originally I was going to switch the headunits out, but I have come to like the sleek look of the stock headunit, and all I really want to do is hook my subwoofers back up.

However, what do I need to hook up an aftermarket amplifier to my stock headunit? In my old car I just bought a new Headunit because it had a tape player.

Thanks for any help, I tried using the search but I couldn't get the information I was looking for, sorry if this has already been posted.

Thanks again!

or you could just go to radio shack, best buy, circuit city or anyother car audio place and pick on up. some people call them a High to low level converter.

The are most often called Line Output Convertors. Sometimes Line Outs or LOC's for short.

Alrighty, I got a Line Output Converter, but now to the more serious questions...

I cannot figure out how to take the headunit out, I got only as far as popping off the panel with the cigarette lighter plug.

The guy at circuit city told me to unscrew the two screws, and I did that, but I'm wondering why it wont budge?

Can anyone give me more detailed instructions?

Thanks a bunch!
