I have a Sony amp just layin around from my old car. I want to get a sound system for my swift but i dont want to change the head unit. Is it possible to connect an amp to a stock head unit?

I suggest you change the HU if you can. If it's the stock wakala HU then you will need to add on a small device for the pre-out (left & right) for the HU. Thats the only way!!! When my HU broke in my old civic I was running on the stock stereo with that adapter.....Neo can give you more info on that..

Most of the old amps support speaker line it.

Check your amp for line in options.

There should be RCA in
There should also be high voltage in (The pin type varies with models)

IF you have high voltage in option you can connect the rear speaker wires directly to the amp as line in option. No need to change HU.

IF you dont have the above option then u should use a converted which will convert speaker line to low voltage RCA out...

Check and let us know...
