Question on new cars

[FLcaraudio]

About to get a new car. Looking at the Mazda 6. I want to get a 2016 Mazda 6 as i found a great deal on one. However the 2016 Mazda 6 can't get a aftermarket head unit since it has the pop up touch screen display and control knobs on the center console. For this reason alone I'm thinking of getting the 2015 one since the dash can get a dash kit for a HU. But I would love to have this 2016 one because the price is unbeatable for a car that new.

So my question is, how do people install subs and amps in these new 2016 cars when they can't get a HU with preamp outs? Obviously a line out converter is trash. I love car audio should I just the 2015 one instead?

I added an Audison bit 10 processor for the same reason as you, the integration with my stock hu on my BMW. I kept the stock Harmon Kardon speakers and added 2 Soundqubed amps and a 12" SSA Icon sub. I'm pleasantly surprised how well it sounds.
