    Hello,
    I got my Prius 2010 two days ago and I believe it has the 6 speaker setup.
    I have 4-channel amp.
    How do I connect the amp to the HU? Does the HU have RCA outputs?
    I would like to connect 2 channels to the front speakers and the other 2 channels bridge to the sub.
    Is this a good idea?
    Which sub would you recommend?
    Thanks

    Welcome! I know my HU (6 speaker base) did not have RCA outputs but I am not sure about EU models. You are probably going to have to tap into the speaker wires.

    I ended up getting a power sub (Bass 1200) and I really like it. Of course my new HU had sub outputs.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I guess I'll need some Line Output Converter to reduce the signal to the RCA levels?
    Where is the location of the crossover in the car, if there's any?
    Thanks again.
