Some amps take the normal speaker cable style input rather than RCA connections, mine does and i have a Blaupunkt GTO Mono. But you will obviously need an amp or an active sub enclosure to run a sub, you cant just trust the HU to run it

Quaility is shite though. Your best off spending £60 and getting a new headunit. That way your front speakers will have more power so will sound better aswell.

you basically join the rear speakers cables to this and they become RCA outputs. It has dials so you can choose what power goes through it.

(please note i don't use this any more, but it was fine in the last car)
