You can add an amp to any head unit. There are convertors on the market that will take the speaker level output from an existing radio and adapt it to the line level input used by amplifiers. In fact, many amplifiers will accept both line level and speaker level signals. Any stereo place would be well aware of this. Looks like you need to find a more trustworthy stereo shop.

I see 'em, 3 out of the 5 last topics looks like they were posted by you.

Yeah, that car stereo place you went to was probably tryin' to get you to spend more $$$$, sales guy was probably paid a commission on it. I can't see how someone WORKING for a stereo shop would tell you something that bogus. Morcutt hit the nail on the head, go with the line converters, They're cheap and they work great.
