Default No Rca's!!! How Do I Connect!!

Hey guys I'm ready to start installing my subwoofer. I have a gs300 1999 with nav and I hear there are no RCA's!! How to I get the signal from the head unit to my new amp! Is there something I need to buy (please dont say new HU). Or can I just not install a new amp?. Thanks for you help.

You would need a line out converter. There are a few cheap ones out there... but JL Audio just released one that's really good (or so I've heard).

This way, you can get a quality "pre-amp" output. There are a few other solutions out there, but most I've seen aren't that great (sub $60 price range).

Good luck!

how many would i need and where would i connect it to? I also have heard of amps that will take line level or whatever inputs in addition to RCA's. Is this true? Some examples?

Still at it huh? You will need a line level input for each amp, if you are only doing a sub then locate the two light green wires on the stock amp, the one with the black stripe is+, red stripe is -, once you have this wired connect your rca's to the input and the amp, make sure you have one long enough to run to the trunk, see the pic below, if you look where the glovebox goes you will see the rca's hanging there so run them down the passenger side to the stock amp located on the right kick panel, good luck.
