Subs, amp, stock deck = bad sound quaility?

[WutangX90]

Hey guys, I pretty much know next to nothing to cars, which is why i greatly need help on a decision. which leads to my problem.

I kind of want to keep my factory radio/cd receiver because it's also a 6 cd- changer and it also has a tape deck (which I use for my ipod.) And also because I'm low on cash after getting the subs and amp.

Now I got different people telling me different things.

One friend says I can connect the amp directly to my rear speakers by splicing the wires and connecting them (which will sound completely fine)... but I got another guy saying that it will sound quality will be terrible, and it's also not good for my subs at all. This guy reccomends me getting the cheapest deck at walmart, a JVC S140 I believe. ($80.00)

Who knows what there talking about?

If I end up not splicing the wires and connecting them to the amp, I'd just get a deck (new or used) ... so can anyone recommend a decent cd-receiver for the price of $70 - $100. (ebay, discount on websites, anything works)

Thanks in advance.

the only advantage to doing a cd player would be equalization (control over everything basically) and more voltage to the amp.

Would splicing the wires and connecting them to my rear speakers be bad for the car's audio system, amp, or the sub at all?

And wow that was an extremely fast response.

I have an re-q processor that takes your factory head unit processes it and send a clean 8 volt output to your amp and this is not bad sound quality, pm if you want to know more and I am selling it.
