Hooking up an amp & sub to factory deck?
Has anybody ever hooked up an amp and sub to the factory cd player? I've got a 2k runner, just wondering if it would work or if it is possible, just until I have the money for a new stereo. any thoughts/ ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Mike

if you want your ipod hooked up too and you are upgrading your speakers you are better off getting an aftermarket deck with the aux input on the front...then you will have dedicated preouts as well....Much less hassle and better sound quality in the end

I just had this question last week!
I ended up getting a new head unit, with a USB plug in the front. It's pretty sweet. If you have an I-pod, spend the extra $$ for a new head unit with an i-pod plug. It will also charge the i-pod for you. Then, you can just plug the i-pod in, put it in your glove box or whatever and when you want to add more songs, disconnect it and take it home.
I tried to hook up my amp to the stock cd player. It was doable, but I just decided to go for the new head unit. If you're still set on keeping it all stock (which was my wish), I have a line out converter that I bought for the original install. It's brand new, and you can have it for $10 and S&H.
