I have a line output converter that I used while my clarion was getting fixed. It doesnt sound awesome but better than no subs... any audio shop will have it, uses both sides for RCA hookup

Or buy an amp with a high level input and run it off the speakers closest to wherever the amp will be.

Ditto. Shiloh, where did you get your info from??...lol

Regardless of what type of sub you plan on running...15w won't be nearly enough power to even make them sound like a sub, plus you really need a dedicated ouput so you can adjust the frequency repsonse properly.

The Cleansweep will enhance the sound dramatically, but if your tight on cash, I'd say just pick up an aftermarket deck and that will solve all your problems

The clean sweep is a great route to go but for the price you may as well get an aftermarket deck and amp.

If I remember Rockford makes one as well that's a lil more cost effective called the 3sixty.2.

There is also the Alpine pxe-h650.

They all have their ups and downs such as you will have to mount their volume know which replace the use of the factory ****/steering wheel controls. Also some have built in eq's and others do not.

that system is overpriced imo. i can sell you my headunit and give you sites for speakers and amp and it still would be cheaper than that kit...
