You are going to need to get a line in converter for the amp. You tap the rear speakers with this converter and it will provide RCA inputs for your amp.

The other choice is to get an aftermarket headunit which will yield much better results

i dont want to add an amp, i want to add sub

[Yanks0114]

you can't. You need to power the sub some how.

Haha, you got a long way to go buddy. The JBL system has an amp but its only meant for the speakers.

It all depends on what you want. Best bet is to goto a retail outlet and talk to them about subs. You can hear how they sound and see what u like

yanks, how much should i expect to pay for the line in converter ? Also where in JErz are you? Im in middlesex county

you need to get a line drop to run it off the factory radio...u need a amp of some sort to run any type of subs, if you want a place to intsall it for you go to someplcae like bestbuy, circuit city etc....so that way there's a warranty on the work....i would suggest getting rid of the factory speakers sometime..they suck....
