She of course does not want to give up the stock 6-disk cd changer, and i am hoping a praying that it will have RCAs.

the only car I ever saw in 5 years of installing that had RCA's in a stock unit was an Isuzu trooper, the stock unit will not have them, but you do have a few options. You can add an aftermarket head unit, but it would have to be the old school alpine M-bus radios, the changer is an alpine M-bus. Or you can use one of the high level to low level adapters and parallel off of the speaker wire outputs to get a low level output (RCA) that would allow you to run an amp, but if you are doing anything but subs with it, you will most likely get noise. Best bet is to buy a new HU and changer setup if she really wants it that bad, and just put the new changer in the stock location.
