[QUOTE="Akshay, post: 7594551, member: 638716"] I need to improve the current system on my car. The head unit is a built in double DIN with screen for sat nav and rearview camera but the speakers sound poor so I'll be replacing all of them with componants and also adding a subwoofer later. The current unit doesn't have any pre-outs. So that leads me to assume I need a line out convertor to obtain the front, rear and sub outputs I need for my amps. But I'm unsure how to wire the the line convertor into the stereo and also how to wire up the speakers to the amps. The line out convertors I've seen look too big to fit behind the stereo so will have to go elsewere in the car. Do I simply splice into the speaker wiring on the back of the stereo and feed that to where it's going to be fitted? I want to keep the OEM wiring intact if possible as the car is under warranty. For the speaker wiring do I run brand new cables from each speaker to the amps? The amps are going to be installed in the boot. One 4 channel amp and then I'll probably buy a small active sub. Hope someone can offer some useful advice. I'm on a budget and so far decided on some Infinity Kappa 6.5 componanet up front. P.S. it's a 5 door VW fitted with a high spec RNS-510 unit. [/QUOTE]
