Default Installing power amp...HELP!?!

I need some tips on how to install an amp. I would like to use my factory head unit but there aren't any RC plugs in the back. How would I go about hooking the amp up to push a sub woofer?

You need a line in convertor.. There are no RCA's on the stock head unit!

I just finished mine using the stock HU. Check this thread I posted. You will need the AOEM-VET! on this thread to connect the RCA's from the amp to the stock HU. Good luck!

The simplest and best way to install an amp to the bose is get a PD2 converter and wiring harness from http://www.linkmeup.com. this will boost the signal power where it will sound good. Just using a line convervter will work but the signal to the amp will be very weak and will not sound good. If you purchase the harness with the PD2 it is all plug and play, no wires to cut or tap.
