Head Unit Without RCA Output Jacks???

Well back in the day I hooked up my amp by tapping into the speakers. The rca cable you would have to splice the wires and on the inside there is two wires a + and a - just hook them up accordingly. Just do that for both the right and the left (red and white side) and your set.
 
i say do what edm95 said. i have a system hooked up to a stock radio using the thing from walmart.
all you do is splice wires into both positive and negative wires on your stock speakers, and hook them up to the blue box and plug in the rca's..real easy and works fine. and all you have yo do is tap into the speaker wires..
 
Do you have a blue wire coming out of the radio? If so, it goes there. Have to run a wire from your radio to the amps. Hook the wire to the blue wire of your radio, and other end to remote on amp.

The blue wire from the radio will not work, As this wire will shut off when a cd in being played in the radio. The blue wire it a antenna turn on wire, If the radio has a BLUE/WHITE wire use that. The blue/white wire is the AMP turn on wire.

The peice you need is a Line out converter or high/low converter. Most of these have a supplied amp turn on if the radio does not supply one. The peice basically taps into the high level speaker output from the radio and converts it to a Low signal acceptable for aftermarket amplifiers

I know the Blue wire is the power antenna wire. This deck is old school because they don't even make decks anymore that don't have preamp rca cables. If this deck don't have those i can bet it's not gonna have (2) blue wires.

The power antenna wire will stay hot with a CD in it. Back in the 80's this was the only wire a person could use, and use line input on the amp instead of rca's. Of course we were using tapes, not cd's.
