I just got a 12" kicker and amp and was hopeing not to get a new headunit but is there a way to hook it up to the stock headunit?

 

Does the amp have a high level input???

If so then the stock head unit will hook right up. If not you will need an adapter unit. Like this http://cgi.ebay.com/Speaker-4-RCA-Li...item4154b458a7

What Amp do you have???


Thats what I did... I have a Kenwood amp with the stock head unit.

 

Its a dps audio 1000 watt

 

Nobman is correct, as long as you have the proper converter/adapter, it will work. Although, with stereo prices getting cheaper everyday, you may want to consider upgrading your head-unit, preferably one with a front USB connection. This will provide you with full control of your iPod via the stereo along with charging capabilities; not too mention sound quality will be top-notch.

Furthermore, you will have much more options when it comes to controlling both your sub and amp (Hi/Low pass filter, various in-depth equalizer modes, bass levels, etc.)

Here's a good option from Alpine <-- It's going to have all the aforementioned features you're looking for. If you've already spent money on a decent sub and amp, why not towards the foundation of all sound systems - the stereo.

Hope this helps!

 

remeber you get what you pay for but for 50 bucks you can get a nice mechless driver with a sd card slot usb and jack for an i pod as well

 

I tried to look up that amp on the internet and could not find it... do you have more info?

 

The guy that's giving me it said they stoped selling it but all I know is that it was a two channel but one blew so I became a mono basically and its 1000 watt

 

How much does your 12" cost?

 

I used this. Simple PNP install. No cutting or splicing.
