Guys, since all 9n3s have them as standard stereo, is it possible to add a RCA Preout to run a amp+sup?????

Yes any headunits can have this done. I cannot remember the name of it... in-line something? most audio shops should have it. If this becomes too hard, new JVC double din, unit seems to have matching LED colour + bluetooth phone call + USB support + Ipod support etc. Seems ok.

Apparently I heard the RCD 200 dont have any Output lines except for the speakers is this true?

I have the RCD200 rigged upto my sub and amp no probs mate. Just nip down to your local Halfrauds, in the audio section they have a little converter type lead. It has the red & white connection cables on one end, and about 5 single wires on the other end. Front left / Front Right / Rear Left / Rear Right / Earth. You just need to loop them around the right wires on your stereos output leads. I used them little blue clips / crimps from halfauds to connect the wires together. The adaptors about 6 or 7 quid if i remember rightly. Dead easy job to do, as the wires on the back of the headunit are labelled. Took me about 10 - 15 mins to do a neat job.

Thanks for the reply matey! yeh I was up halfrauds and they seem to have what is called a 'RCA Line converter' which only seem to have four wires which were as you said
Front left / Front Right / Rear Left / Rear Right or I might have missed the earth one

Can you please send me a picture of how you wired this converter at the back of our radio please and also what tool did you to remove the radio??????

Lastly how is the sound quality since its only running off the speakers?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply mate! In terms of sound quality from the Sub, how good is it?

It's alright to say its setup on a standard headunit. Its never gunna be as good as an aftermarket one. You just need to play around with bass and treble on the headunit. I just turned my treble right up, and bass to 0. Then just use the bass remote i have for my sub to alter it. But its always going to be better than no sub. haha
