so there's no wire for a subwoofer then?

 

[techieman33]

not unless you have one now, you can buy an adapter though that will let use use one of your speaker outputs and convert it to a rca output to run to your sub

 

[patman]

so my options are...making it sound weird by getting the adapter....or getting a new head unit so i can run a sub?

 

[techieman33]

I use the adapter and mine doesn't sound weird, I just pulled the wires on the other rear speaker so things stayed in balance. Though you will have a lot more control if you do get a new head unit

ugh!!!! ok gotta get a new head unit...sorry i just want my stuff my way... lol
