I have a 2024 Rubicon (2 door) with the base audio system.
I want to add a sub and I'm looking at the Pioneer TS-WX130DA which I believe, based on this video, only takes RCA inputs. ( ).
I'm guessing the base head unit does NOT have RCA sub outputs but can anyone confirm if it DOES or does NOT have sub RCA outs?
Thanks in advance.

There are no OEM RCA outputs from the radio. You could always wire in a Line Output Convertor (LOC) or a high level adapter (they are the same thing, just named differently), they both take the speaker wire and convert it to an RCA signal.

Thanks for confirming Mike,
I assume i would connect to both left and right speakers to get the sub signal.
Also, I found this "Kicker 46KISLOC K-Series Interconnect, Speaker to RCA W/Line-Out Converter" on Amazon and this looks like it would work. https://www.amazon.com/KISLOC-2-Channel-Speaker-Adapter-Converter/dp/B00I4EF1BC?th=1
Thanks again. -Bill

I use an Audio Control LC2i and tap into the full range output near the obd2 connector. There are cheaper loc's out there if you don't want to spend the extra cash.

This really brings up a valid point though why in the hell can't oems provide RCA level outputs on their radios? Freaking cheap bastards.
