Wanna Keep stock radio, but also want subs!

Does anybody know, how to put RCA inputs on a stock Delco radio, or a place that could do it, or a way to connect it to an amp?

I'm planning the same type of set up, except I want to install an amp to power the whole system using the stock deck. You need a line level converter to change the speaker level outputs to RCA preamp inputs for an amplifier. Most audio stores will have one type or another of these.

Try one of these and you can add an amp for all four channels...
