Help! I am not new to installing subs with a aftermarket head unit. However im trying to keep my stock head unit because I have SYNC, no nav tho. How do I run my RCA cables from my stock head unit? Thanks!!

You need to buy whats called a Line Output Converter. It taps into your existing speaker wires and converts them to RCA outputs.

Easier if you use a PAC aoem-frd24 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...OEM-FRD24.html

^ this. It works great. Installed in my 2011 and simple PNP install.

If i use the PAC will it come with directions? Its kinda hard just to look at it and know how to use it lol

Also which RCA outputs would i use to go to a mono block amp? Since there are 2 sets of seperate connections!!

Some LOC come with 3 pre-outs; 2-channel front, 2-channel rear, 2-channel sub.

If your LOC only comes with 2 pre-outs it is probably for front and rear. In that case you would want to use the rear's and set your amp filters accordingly.

It really is just a plug and play thing...the hardest part is getting to the back of the radio. Once you get to the back of the radio you unplug the stock harness and plug it into the pac then plug the other end of the pac into the back of the radio. It comes with a remote wire already attached to it so you don't have to worry about that.

Does your amp have 1 set of RCA inputs (1 red and 1 white) or just 1 single input? You would just run the set of rear rca's to the amp, but if it only has one input then just connect it to one side.

Very easy install. Unplug factory harness from radio. Plug PAC to radio and factory harness to PAC. Connect wire to PAC blue wire (amp remote power on) and run RCA cables to amp location. While I had the dash open I ran 2 RCA sets just in case I install a 4-channel amp. I am just using one RCA right now for the sub amp.

Gentlemen, thank yall very much! That information was perfect on what I was looking for. Im ordering the PAC harness now! Ill put up the pics later when i finish the project. Looking at the end of the week most likely. The 2 RCA is a great idea because I may run a different amp.

My amp now only has one set of cable inputs so im sure ill do just one set connection
