Standard headunit, wanting to attach subs

Hi Guys, not really big in technical jargon. But I will try make it simple to understand.

Iv got a twin 15"vibe sub, with 2 sony amps attached, now, the wiring is easy enough todo, but as i only have a standard headunit, will i be able to wire it up to this?

Im not really wanting to change headunits or buy a new one, coz i had an ipod connection fitted with it. and my old JVC headunit out of my old car doesnt have one.

Any help is appreciated, thankyou

am afraid i have no idea, only had the car a couple months. whats the difference? oh and would i have to fit a switch to turn the sub on and off, or would the power be cut when the engine is turned off. i had to fit a switch on my punto. there is an audio specialist in my area, if i asked him to fit my subs to the headunit, would he be able to do it? hmmmmm

If its done properly the stereo will switch them on & off
If your not sure what stereo you have look at the FAQ at NewMINIStuff.com
What model numbers are the amps

This is what i used so i could keep the boost head unit / ipod link /mfsw (and the missus (who likes the MINI stereo) happy)

JL Audio: Products

can take it from car to car for years to come.

UK supplier you're looking at £400
Ebay USA inc postage and VAT £150 ( coz i got mine and fitted it last month )
