stock head unit line outs?

could anyone tell me if the stock stereo system has any RCA line-level outputs? I'm assuming so, since it's equiped to install the amp/sub upgrade. thing is ... I REALLy don't want to take apart the dash if I can access a line level output elsewhere. My plan was just to place one 10" sub in the trunk for a little low end.

Also, does anyone know the best place to route power cable thru the firewall without drilling any holes? I'll be using 4 gauge wire. Thanks in advance guyz.

No line outs on the OEM stereo, high output only. There is a rubber grommet in the firewall, above where the gas pedal is if I remember.

simple sub setup

then i guess the easiest way to place a single sub in the trunk without disturbing any OEM parts would be a line-level adaptor tapped off the rear speakers to a x-over, amp, sub. wanting to keep this simple, light, yet effective. thanks for the firewall tip.

I agree, if you just want some low end fill in. That sounds the like the easiest thing to do. If you look on our site, there are pages that will show you where exactly the plug is in the firewall too if you need it.

ok..no factory deck has rca out puts...
best way is to buy a high-low converter...should cost you no more then 25 bucks...then say later on you wanna up grade your stero to a none factory deck which have rca out puts...then you will aready have the wires there.
