| RS3 Alpine head unit
The radio in it nice but it has NO outputs for conencting another amp for a sub, there are 2 additional audio inputs and 1 addition video input, why who knows. Now I am going to have to use a POS high to low converter for a sub amp.  |

I'm not sure of the clips on that alpine unit, but it may not hurt to email them first to see if it'll work. | |

| If you pull the head unit out you will see an additional yellow (video) input and red (right) and white (left) input. I just found the damn dvd crap under the passenger seat the other day. | |

Well what am I looking for exactly lol. Just a converter for an alpine head unit? I just want the exact name of what I am looking for. And how hard on a scale from 1-10 was it to install? | |
