It doesn’t have rca's its a pretty average Kenwood head unit you will need to replace it with something better. It is a bloody bitch to get out.

1. Pull panel off where the little light is that shines on your drink holder be careful not to break the clips there are from memory 6 or 4.

2. From there you can see a screw towards the back undo her

3: Put hands behind head unit and pull towards you evenly or it will just fark up NOTE do not pull to hard or it will come flying out and may cause damage to the connections on you hazard light switch (Undo the screws on the hazard switch)

It is not a easy task, took me a couple of hours, And it is best to run the sub wire from the passenger side not the driver side, i was using 4 gauge amp wire which was pretty fat but it all went together well just tucked it under step panel


Have u run your subby wire yet??

*If not put it through the rubber lume/ grommet on the passenger side, you may need to undo glove box to pull it through to the inside

What you can do is put a line out converter in place of you speaker wire...ie splice the converters into the speaker outputs of the factory h/u...this works but is not really that good if you intend on running a big setup...once you start drawing to much signal it weakens and starts to crackly and stuff...

My advice get a new deck...something that aint to pretty but has all the outputs...Nakamichi make sweet units that are really simple w/ high voltage outputs.. but they are usally pricey
