| Hey guys, I currently have a Kenwood KAC-943 amp and I just finished trying to hook it up to my stock head unit on my RSX. I was reading on clubrsx forum on how to install an aftermarket sub and amp to the stock head unit. Problem is, I just realized that my amp doesn't have the HIGH LEVEL INPUT jacks(that are in the form of wire input not RCA) that are required to do the proper installation according to the forum. BUT, on my amp, i see no high level inputs anywhere. Just some RCA jacks; is it possible that these RCA jacks on my amp are the high level inputs? Is it even possible that my amp doesn't have any high level inputs at all? Heres my amp: http://www.scribd.com/doc/3275919/Kenwood-KAC943-kac943pdf-Owners-Manual-English
Any help would be MUCH appreciated, I'm one step away from having my sub fully hooked up!
Thanks |

| speaker level are the high level imputs you are looking for. what this means is the wires going to each speaker is considered high level. if it was rca it would be considered low level.
there are adapters called high level adapters you can get at furture shop, best buy, or your local car audio store.
you run the speaker wires from your stock amp output or the speakers from each door, or the speaker wires off the stock deck, to the adapter and the out put is rca which ur amp can use.
as simple as pie man.

| they will know what is needed at the store!
its best for you to go to your local fs, bb or car audio store and ask.
they will also tell you if they have a harnes for your car.
