Can an amp be hooked up to a 88 factory cassete so that I can run subs?

Dr.NickRiviera

There is a line adapter that you can connect to the rear speaker wires and run that to your amp.

yes as long as the amp uses high level inputs

So when I buy my amp make sure it has high level inputs in it? These connect to the adapter? How do I connect to the radio, is it with the same adapter?
Thanks in advance.

The option UQ7 included two subwoofers and an additional amp to power them, so there is no reason you couldn't add one. It includes a separate harness in the dashboard and a specific rear speakers harness.
To bad I don't have pics of the parts but I'm sure a little research would help you.
I'd be curious to know the output of this amp.

How do those work? Who sells them? Can I install it or do I need to do it professionally?

These connect to your rear speakers and allow you to run your subwoofers if you run on a factory radio, you should be able to pick them up at any electronics store.. and you can do it yourself its almost like speaker wire.....here is an explanation http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...0064503AAS2IBL

with high level inputs you tap into the speaker wire
for example im useing a high level amp run off both my rear speakers to power a dual channel sub its a sub ment for a home stereo it was free and works just fine
high level inputs convert the signal to line level inside the amp instead of useing converter boxxes

or you can buy line level converter boxxes and run a normal amp

im running a jenson 300w amp off a factory head unit to power a 12 i just wanted a little extra bass

my sub is hidden in the rear comparment cubby the amp is hidden the spare tire well

it took about 2 hours to install
it worked great for me but
i bought one of the 20 dollar amp hook up kits from walmart
amp was garbage picked as was the sub

I (literally) JUST bought one of these to work with a factory radio that I put in my camaro.

Seems to work fairly well, just seems like the subs are alot louder than they were.

Thanks. That is what I want to do Azrael91966669. Add an amp plus subs to the factory unit.

Thanks for the details evilemokid94.

Now I just have to figure where to put the subs in the vert.

Do you have an amp and where do you have your subs placed? I have the same car as you.

Yes sir, I have an old 800watt MTX(??) amp, and 2 12" subs in the trunk.

Its not pretty, the box was actually made for 4th gens, but I cut the lip of the box off, to drop it in the trunk.
