Does anyone know how I would install an amplifier ( for a subwoofer ) into an OEM Honda system? I just wanted to add a sub into my friend's '00 Civic, but don't know if  it has an RCA output. I don't think it would, so in this case, where would I get the signal from? Thank you very much in advance.

https://www.peripheral-aamp.com/peri_faq_main.htm for info on line output converters.  Typically, with this brand, you would use a P35 to get a stereo signal from OEM left and right speaker wires, then the RCAs connect from the LOC to the amp.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Yup, find yourself either the front (preferably) or rear (easier) speaker wires. All you need to do is to splice into these wires to give a signal to the LOC for it to convert to a rca signal for an amplifier to use. I usually will tap the wires right behind the factory cd player.
