Of course! I got amp and sub with my stock headunit.
You need to use the err... god I can't remember the name... basically the stock head unit doesn't have the jack for the amp, and therefore you need to use this thing to convert the speaker line into the output line for the amp. Sorry, I haven't been brushing up my car audio knowledge for a while now. :(
Just remember... line converter... that's the name.
Other euro owners have also done the same setup (with stock headunit).
L.O.C.= Line Output Converter. They run 10 bucks up to 200 for the AudioControl 8 channel unit.
AudioControl units that can take a line level input and output in to RCA's.
Hifi supermarket sell such devices. Its a 4 channell L.O.C unit worth $113 approx. Basically run that into ur amp from ur stock HU, so HU > LOC > AMP then wire as you usually do.
Good luck!
so how many channel do i need for running one 12' sub
Just run it off your front speakers from you head unit from using a High level to RCA convertor with I suggest a volume level control . At least you will have some control over it and run the remote wire from the ignition wire I have this setup in my Euro works fine. I had mine installed by GL Pro Sound in Melbourne they know how to pull the car apart, and was not that expensive. They are in Essendon Keilor Rd.
sound so complicate....
how much does it set you back to get it done
coz i have amp and sub and as well as all the wires already
Get a converter and when you wire your system .. get the signal from the speaker cable.Quote:

correct me if im wrong ... cheers.
NB: If possible change your head unit as well and you wouldn't be disappointed at all.
Change the head unit and you don't need the L.O.C.!! Then you will also have a better signal and less wires!
agreed. :)Quote:
