No, that's a pre-amp output that is meant to be connected to your sub woofer amp. So, you will need an amp if you intend to connect a subwoofer.

If they are RCA then they are preouts. There should be 3 sets of them on that headunit (Front, Rear, and Sub). One should be Red, the other White (for Left and Right, not + and -). All 3 sets are 2volts. DYohn is correct, they are for sending a Low Level signal to amplifiers.
