Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i have the factory head unit, which has the fold-down feature to pop a cd in. its a 2001 if that matters. im trying to find out the best way to get the signal/ output from the stock head unit, to run to my amp in the trunk. usually they have rca outputs, but since this is stock, i doubt it does. have any of you had experience in this, or any tidbits of info? thanks guys!

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

no one can chime in on this one? pleassseeee

POST 3Original post

I am in the process of upgrading my sound system and I removed the stock radio yesterday. There are no subwoofer outs on the radio.

POST 4Original post

The stock head unit does have 2 separate outlets. - line level and - speaker level. One of them is used , one is still available. You dont have the instruction book for it ? It has the back side connections listed , in a schema/drawing. On my car , the line level was in use. Bought a speakerline adaptor , and used the speakerlines for input for my Sub.You need to get the special keys , to take the unit out. To be able to see , what is used , and what is not. EDIT : I presume you have the CR220 ? With additional amp in th etrunk ? Or not ? The manual from : www.beckerautosound.com page 28 , back side pic. Socket B is speakerline outputs. Socket C1 is line out. If one of those is not used , you can use the other for getting signal to your sub amp. And eventough they are not RCA (speakerline ) , there is a converter available that makes them in to RCA outputs. Easy.... And if you have the lineoutput available , the connector that fits there has RCA jacks. I have one in my hands....that I dont need.
