Hello again everyone....I was wondering if there is any good way to be able to connect an amp to an OEM Honda deck that doesnt have any pre-amp outputs. I dont really want to change out that HU if I dont have to...I am not looking to be able to break neighbors windows with bass but just add my old amp and subs to get to the low end better than the factory speakers can. Any suggestions on if/how you can do this. THANKS!!!

yup that's it. but you won't really get the full potential of the amp with these.

You could get that converter, or you could just get an amp that has high-level inputs, like an Eclipse.
I would NOT convert the amplified signal to RCAs without stepping it down, the RCA inputs on the amp are only for low-level.

I agree, in order to get the full performance out of an amp through a sub woofer set-up would be to get a radio with the rca's in them. Highs and mids you don't have to worry about cause your not trying to get the lowest frequency out of them. my 2¢

actually you can check out the new mtx amps, the rep said something that your actually suppose to use high level inputs for your signal, so you wouldn't even need the line out converter.

you can always put an FMOD in between the line level converter and the amp to filter out highs and mids.
