2005 Ex Se Head Unit Help!!!

I bought two 10" MT-6000A subs and I need to know if the HU in the 05' EX SE have RCA preamp outs??? I am also planning on gutting out all the stock speakers in the back with two coaxial speakers MTX-TDX6903. Now if I don't have RCA preamp outs in the stock HU, then I guess i have to tap into the rear speakers for the bass signals and put bass blockers on the rear speakers? If you put subs in the trunk, then there isn't really a need for a rear speaker with bass output? but then again, I wanna be able to turn off the main sub bass and have all four midrange speakers and two tweeters working loud like the original set up... basically i wanna know if i need to replace my factory rear speakers when i put the two 10" subs... also i found a custom enclosure on the left side of the trunk made by QLogic. but they don't make one for the right side... which means i would only be able to use one sub... would that one 10" MTX-6000A sub be enough thump? i already have a ported box for both... but i like my trunk space.... i actually use it.. haha THANKS FOR ANY HELP FROM ANYONE!!

no stock preouts, you need an rca converter (alpine makes it) or get an amp with speaker level inputs.

"What is this??? One of THE BEST mods for your car is LC20 and FP60."
and what is better, getting the RCA converter or the amp with a speaker level input... isn't the RCA converter better? cuz you make one easy connection to the head unit instead of tapping on to the rear speakers??? thanks again for the reply, i appreciate it.

rca converter is better and its a new product. don't know where to find. the lc20/fp60 are oil and gas additives than give better mileage and make car faster.

The line out converter isnt "better" it should actually be the same... Right?

Cuz the amp with line level inputs us the rear speakers but so do the line out/RCA converters. Even if u hook it up at the back of the deck and then plug in the RCA's its still using the same singnal as it would back by ur speakers, right? So I would guess that they r both the same.

And the FP60 works but I never tried the LC20 but since its from Lube Control I trust it and have also read many good things about it
