Yea, you could use hi-level inputs if your amp has them or i think a line out converter should work in your situation as well.

But the easiest route would be to upgrade to a newer Head Unit that has an RCA out.

Yeah ridr is right. You have a few choices. The most common is by using a line out converter.

They are the cheap / easy way to do it and still get good results.

No if you want something better, say your doing a stereo in a Lexus (and they want to keep the factory headunit) or the car your doing has built in amps. Then this is the way to go.

I read an article about those JL clean sweeps, as JeremyC linked to, they are pretty cool but a little pricy I think
