But how do I connect my deck to my amp? I thought the stock single disc SE deck didn't have a way to do that..

And the amp I have is a GM-X822, uhhh.. specs from Pioneer are...

It used to power both subs, but I was thinking, perhaps.. running 2 speakers and a sub off it, if it's dual channel that is..

Or would it be better to use one channel and 1 sub, and get another amp for speakers..

I don't know what I'm doing :(
