No pre-outs, forget it.

And BTW, why aren't you asking this question on a Corsica forum?

Line level adapters are only 20 bux at my best buy, and only 20 bux at the local audio house too. Or just buy an amp with line level inputs.

Makes sense! I have a Ducati motorcycle, and when I have a question about it, I'll ask here too!

If he's just looking to add a sub, like he says the sound quality shouldn't be that big a deal. I mean it's a corsica with a stock stereo, sounds like he just wants to fill in the bottom end a little, not win a bass off or anything!
