Thanks for the help everybody...
I was playing around with the secret EQ in the radio and got it sounding a lot better.. But im still left looking for some more tight bass.. Ill take pics when i get to it and share since you all are so helpful and im sure there are a lot of stereo noobs out there like me who will benefit a lot from this thread. Im just gunna get the converter for the rear speakers... So i will splice into each +/- for each rear speaker and those 4 wires go to the converter and then rca's to amp- CORRRECT? Thanks!
Im sure ill have to go back into the EQ to tweak some after all this too.

You should only need one pair of RCA inputs to provide signal - look for the two jacks labelled Audio In on the amp.

Thanks for the info...

VitaminB6.. Did you use something like this?? and cut the end off?

If you really dont think ill notice a difference in sound quality im going to do the converter for the rear speakers... Otherwise ill have to buy the speacial radio removal keys and long *** rca cables.
Sorry about the cat hair.

Also.. Amazingly... I have got my radio to sound almost as good as my Bose radio in the Nissan... Its amazing what a difference there is by ******* with THE SECRET EQ! I got it sounding really tight and powerfull.. Better highs/mids/deep bass. Honestly i probably would not have started this thread had i taken the time to mess with THE SECRET EQ a day earlier... BUT-Now i have a project, the money is spent, and it will sound even better!!!!!! I dont see myself getting the audio mod bug though after this.

just do the rear speaker way, it might take a watt off the speakers but nothing noticeable.

okilyjokily. You say Best Buy should have these converters?? Does quality matter or are they pretty much all the same?

of course quality matters but what they have will do fine. you just pushin a sub, in the trunk, its not like its gonna be the cleannest thing on the block, but its will sound fine. your not gonna get to much of a better sound without spending lots of money.
