You need a RCA converter. The same as me.

If you see the " sub and amp noobie HELP?" Thread there is a link to one off ebay for less than a 5er. You just wire then into your headunit outputs.

alternatively you could buy the actual dedicated rca output plug that simply plugs into the mini iso plug on the rear of the h/u
