Can subs (amp) be hooked up to stock head unit?

^ couldnt u just bridge the rca cables onto the normal speaker wires? not 100% sure on this but im curious.

What do you mean by bridge the rca cables to normal speaker wires? Generally RCA's are what you'd want to connect the headunit to the amp. It offers better shielding against interference.

I'd stay away from FM modulators altogether, personlly I dont think they're even worth the packaging that it comes in. LOC's on the other hand are different. I've heard mixed reviews some, some are good and some aren't.

edit:

Yup ghetto style? i duno i was just curious.

that's just dodgy and wont work... lol

ghetto styles work man they use to work for me when i wanted to hook up a stereo in my bag lol

some brand of Amp you can do it straight from your speaker wire to RCA by flicking the switch to High level , you just splice the -ve spkr cable to the shield one of the RCA and the +ve spkr cable to the inner cable of the RCA, I have done it on the Euro with no problem and you dont even need any LOC
