    Does any one know if the Stock radio head unit on a 2013 Taco double cab has RCA hook-up?

    If you want to keep the stock head unit but also want RCAs for an amp, you can get an line out converter. These things convert the speaker wire to RCAs as well as a few other fancy things. Most people I've seen go with the Audio Control LC6i. JL Audio makes a few products for stock head unit integration that I assume is also good, I just haven't heard a lot about them.

    I used them in a stock VW Golf 2010 that I use to have. I never had any issues with it and I didn't have to screw around with changing everything for an amp and sub.

    I don't know of anyone (on TW) that has used a line out converter without having an audible hiss at lower volumes.:(

    I remember JL Audio use to make something for it but I can't remember what it was called.
