You do not NEED the rca jack....Factory stereo decks in many makes and models do not have rca connections...Ideally, what you'd want is a LINE OUT CONVERTER ...ask for it at any audio store....maybe even at Walmart. Alternatively, if on a tight budget AND your amp has an input marked "high level" or "speaker level," it is safe to hook speaker wires from your factory deck to it. If you do so, adjust the gain to a low setting BEFORE turning the stereo on, and DO NOT splice your amp's rca cables and your deck's speaker wires. That would fry the amp, as the rca's are meant to receive ~3-4 watts of power;your speaker wires could easily deliver 5 times that or even more. You also need to have the blue accessory wire to run to you amp so it knows when to shut off.... This is called the remote wire. It needs to connect to low amperage power source that turns on with the radio, ie, with the ignition. It is commonly connected to the cigar lighter's mini blade fuse in the small fuse box under the dashboard, but any ~20amp fuse for an accessory that turns on with the vehicle's ignition is completely safe to use for this purpose.

First Turn it down, the VOLUME all the way up, will OVER MOUDULATE and turn the bass and treble to the default levels (of medium). The next best way is to hook up external speakers (powered by outside source) to the head phone jack (output) and it will sound OK... you can also run in preamp mode (simulated) if you hook up from ear phone jack to RCA IN the back of a stereo with the proper cord you will even get right and left and maybe even stereo if output is in Stereo.
