Ive just brought a kenwood sub and amp and will be getting a nu head unit in the not to distant future. Could any one tell me what is the best way to go about setting up a sub and amp to my current rather dated cd player, theres no hope realy that its got a amp adaptor, so could any one tell me how I would go about hooking the amp up to this player, also will it improve the bass in the car much as thats the real aim :)

Any help would be great, ignor me if I sound like a Tw@t im new to all this....

rite the way to do it for now is like this

get your phono lead and chop one of the ends off and strip it back to get to the wire insidehttp://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SQDrAhYWPDCo*Q5ALVOQJ!ukPvZo*EA9zdOaTL0E0DgmNNC8S vjIuTxTTbwtlwjtRmEkH2mvbOGQVqrWhtmsLjB!z4uS0kz2ybR dBGkYAW68bz!OQW0A*w/Picture%2043.jpg?dc=4675491683131816860

once you have these you connect your positive to the insulated wire and negative to the outer wire

its best to solder these then insulate them again, then you just connect this to your rear speaker out puts.

very long winded way of doin it and you loose your speaker out puts, so your best off waiting mate . why buy a sub and amp before a decent head unit any way?? seems abit stuuupid to me
