I Need Help!!

hey all, i'm putting some subwoofers into my car and am buying a new head unit but my grandma wants to keep a tape deck in her car at the moment. I was lookin at some double din cd/tape combos and came across a problem. They all say that they have 2 sets of preamp outlets but they also say that they don't have subwoofer outlets. My question is, can i still hook up my subwoofers to this kind of unit or do i need to convince her to just let me get a cd player????

P.S. What is the difference between 2 sets of preamp outlets and subwoofer outlets and here is the receiver i was lookin at, can i add my subs w/ this???

Instead of worring about getting rid of grandma's tape deck, I suggest shopping around for a 6 or 10 disc CD changer. You'll be hapy cause you got your CD's, and gram will be happy she's got her tape deck. (wonder what she'll think about some subs...)

a sub pre out is jus a seperate pre amp for your sub specificly.....you could still use the other pre outs for an amp for the subs no problem....its not that important unless you are planning on running like 2 or more amps....good luck....hope your g-ma likes to bump...otherwise i'd advise putting a switce on the remote lead for her...good luck
