I am trying to install a sub and amplifier into a 2011 toyota corolla factory head unit.?

i understand that i would have to tap into the cigarette lighter wire for the remote wire but how would i go about installing the rca cables? can i buy a converter for the head unit and is that all i have to do?I am trying to install a sub and amplifier into a 2011 toyota corolla factory head unit.?
for the remote wire i would suggest using the window or sunroof fuse



all you need for the RCAs is a line output converter, here are some http://www.sonicelectronix.com/viewcat.p鈥?/a>I am trying to install a sub and amplifier into a 2011 toyota corolla factory head unit.?
As Richard said, the factory head unit may have low level outputs (RCA). Chances are pretty good on a Toyota since many Scions have that option.

If not, it's not a problem. A lot of mass marketed companies (Pioneer, Sony, Alpine, etc.) have high level inputs on their amps. Tapping into the factory speaker wires for a signal is much easier when using an amp with that option.

As far as hooking the remote wire to the cigarette lighter;
The remote wire needs to be tapped into a low level amperage source that is off when the car is off. It's common to tap into the windshield wiper fuse. They're normally on when the key is in the ACC position, as well as when the car is running.I am trying to install a sub and amplifier into a 2011 toyota corolla factory head unit.?
you would have to buy a rca line out box i believe whats it called and tap in to your rear speakers for it to work. the quality will not be that great but that is an option but check first if there are any rca outs on the back of your radio first before you take that route. with newer cars they sometimes have factory subs as an option so you might be able to use that wiring.
