CD Player Question-RCA Outs?

I have the stock Ford radio in my 2001. It's the "premium" radio that has the 6 CD changer. My question is do those radios have the RCA outputs for connecting to an amp and sub? I noticed an RCA cable runs underneath the carpet and behind the rear seat like someone previously had an amp or something. I havent pulled the radio to check for myself. I can't tell where the cable runs without pulling the carpet.

Not factory. Perhaps someone put a hi to low level adapter in there somewhere.

do you need a special tool to pull the radio or can I use a couple of paper clips?

i think you can use a cut up close hanger. cut up in 2 U bolt shapes to release the tabs.

you can buy the tool at wal mart for like 10-15 bucks. its easy to pull the radio, just put the U wire in the holes and push to the outside of both sides at the same time. do u have the 6cd in dash or a cd changer in the center console ?
