Pre-out on stock head unit?

I have a 2001 X with the 6 disc head unit and would like to add an amp. Does it has rca jacks in the rear of the stock head unit?

No it doesn't. I just added an amp to my X. You need to put (or have a shop put) in an adapter that taps into the speaker wires. Don't know exactly what it is called but it is a high to low adapter with rca outputs. Costs about $15-$20.

Second glares response. No jack in back. I just pulled the radio because the changer part is dead. I bought a replacement unit from eBay with just a single CD. Changers are nice, but that's a lot of extra moving parts that can go wrong. It takes twenty seconds to unload a CD, grab another from the visor CD holder and put in a new one. Changers have a s---load of plastic gears and extra servo's that have to work in concert to grab a CD from a slot and play it. No thanks.

Of course, maybe I'm just a little bitter that the changer died in the first place.

I kept the stock changer for now. Eventually when any part of it goes out I will change the head unit. I have already put out enough money for a lift, wheels and tires for the time being. So head unit will have to wait.

The factory headunit does not have RCA jacks; you need to purchase line level convertors that convert the output to RCA jacks and a level that an amplifier can make use of. They are only a few dollars.
