Is there a line-out on the basic factory head unit?

If so people who know this, how can I wire up an amp to this bitch so it doesn't sound so lousy?

If you haven't guessed I'd like more volume with out the attention of an aftermarket head unit.

my stock MR dosn't have line out connector of any type (rca or just wire) , it might be time for upgrade from your stock headunit.

yeah definately no line out. you can get an amp and do speaker level inputs until you upgrade the head unit though.

whats the point? with all the goddamn rattles and squeaks in the car not to mention the exhaust and the tire noise, loud is all I care about. And besides given my track record for getting cars jack i dont need any more attention than the seats already draw.

buy something that is not to expensive, get a decent amp w/ some decent speakers and you are set. Other wise stop complaining about the sound quality that you get out of the stock unit :P
IMO stock radio and stock speakers are more than enough for playing : salsa, merengue, reggaeton, hip-hop , etc....

Alpine makes a good headunit for around 260 that plays mp3s as well. Cheap solution.

Once you buy an after market HU, you gotta go all the way, change the speakers, add amps, woofer/s etc. I just swapped my stock HU with Alpine CDA-9813 and it sounded worse with stock speakers!! :(
