2 ways.
1) Get an electrical technician to wire on the RCA pre-outs to the original command deck in the car and amps/processors plugged into the RCA's.
2) Buy any of the Audio Control processors that have high-level inputs (i.e. speaker inputs). These units will then convert the signal to RCA outs for the amps etc.

Any of the processors that have "Speaker level inputs" will do the job.
Good luck with it.

Phill, would the guys at Queensland Audio know how to do this?I'm actually quite happy with the Audio 10 but may want to upgrade in the future. It would be good to have a mob that has done a mod like this before. I'm based back in Brisbane again now.

Hi Jet,
Queensland Audio is part of the Northfield Car Sound group. Back in the days that I played with car audio gear I dealt with Q.Audio for purchasing Soundstream equipment and Northfield up at Nundah for installation.
Enjoy....

Re: I HAVE A SYSTEM + COMMAND CONTROL WORKING
So how did you connect up the COMAND Navigation system to the Rockford amps? Speaker level or Line inputs? How did you convert?
Thanks
Thanks
