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 picked these up on ebay:

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.

hmmmmm I will have to look at that, thanks Point_Oh (.0), I pulled the door panels and the 6.5's look cheesy, the dash speakers look decent.

where did you find the video input ??? is it under the seat or behind the dash???? Also are you counting the Ipod and Stereo mini inputs near the handbrake or is there a way to disconnect them from behind the dash ??
thanks for your help

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.

Are You Guys talking about the new Alpin Head unit for the 2009-2010 xB & xD's? if you guys are and you have one could you do me a huge favor at take a pic of the back of the head unit and post it up i want to see it all the connection's are the same as the old stereo units. So i can order one and put it my my RS.1 Gen1 Hot Lava xB.

I believe I have the same problem as you. I want to install my subs but I dont want to rip out my stock alpine head unit. where are you going to buy this high to low converter?

 

[toaster_pilot]

i got mine on at circuit city, but they are available everywhere, i wish i could get one of those custom harnesses though, that would be better

 

[Box_Boy]

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?

 

[toaster_pilot]

One of these...comes in many forms

Line Converter

Converts speaker wire to RCA basically....not difficult to do

 

[Box_Boy]

so to be correct would i need anything else? I am just a little confused and feel pretty stupid.

of my understand right now it goes

head unit > converter > wires from amp

 

[toaster_pilot]

basically....tap the speaker lines into the converter....the the rca outs to the amp and VOILA!

 

[Box_Boy]

ok thanks bro and BTW ur scikotics link is broken = /

 

[Box_Boy]

so i got the converter from best buy and picked this up

InstallEdge.com

except mine is 2-60 watts. I was wondering if first I got the right thing lol and also if it matters what wattage one I got. I have a 200 watt amp.

 

[toaster_pilot]

so you got two? I dont the wattage thing matters too much, i didnt even pay attention to mine and i have a 600w amp

 

[Box_Boy]

no i didnt get two i have the one like the one in the link =D
