Audio Help

[BluCiv08]

I recently bought a 5 channel amp, a sub, and 4 component speakers for my new 2008 Honda. Today, just now actually, i was trying to start laying some wires down before i actually hooked everything up. I took the dash apart, and pulled out my radio unit, and i saw that there are no RCA cable plugs on the back of the unit? Do i need an adapter or are these plugs somewhere else? Any help would be great. Thanks

Factory radios never come with RCA hookups dude.....you have to either use a high-low converter (line level output converter) or if you bought something like Alpine amps they have a harness that can take in high level leads. Other than that, get a new headunit.

im guesing (because ive never seen the back of the 8th gen stereos) that there is an empty spot where a wiring harness can go... look on like crutchfield.com for factory stereo solutions. If not, you'll probably have to go buy a new deck

Never thought about that. ill have to get a converter then thanks for the help.
Are there any good brands? or models i should look at? or stay away from?

I'd say just get a new deck. They're cheap nowadays. You'll get better sound quality, use your iPod or MP3 cd, etc. Just makes sense all around to me.
