Go into halfords and ask for a hi low converter jack thing. splice this into your current headunit speeker wires. £5

There you go - DIY RCA outputs. Ran this setup for a bit but its s**t. Much better to buy a new HU as the quality is a lot better.

wrong section aswell mate

i reckon its best to get a new headunit as you can get better quality, mp3 options etc

get a new headunit,

putting an amped input into another amp is not a good idea

Yeh its best to get a new headunit, some arent that expensive, I got mine for £45. Its not the best but its got all I need, ipod connections, RCAs for amp etc

Its called a Line level converter or high level converter. Takes the signal from the speaker wires and converts it to RCA's which you can plug into an amp. However as The Boosh mentioned, they are not a great option in terms of sound quality and level. For some reason they actually work better on other cars, i.e. not renaults. New headunit is really the best option, better sound quality even before you add amps and more speakers.
