Edmonton,
OK, first off, I'm not very inclined when it comes to car audio. I have a Panasonic CQ-C3300U head unit, which does not have a sub-out. It does however have L & R Pre-amp output connectors for the front & rear. I bought a 2-channel amp a while ago hoping to run a single sub(at the time unaware that I didn't have a sub-out(stupid me)).

Their are only two RCA inputs on the amp, L & R. Am I still able to hook up the amp to the head unit? Or am I SOL?

Any help woul be appriciated.

Thanks
 
Easily accomplished... just plug it into the rear pre-out and then use either your amps built in crossover or buy one to filter out the highs. Plug the RCA's into the L+R on the amp, doesnt matter which really.

That simple, I've done it before and many other people do it. It is basically the only choice unless you spend $250+ on a new HU w/sub-out.
