Default adding a subwoofer

Has anyone had any problems adding a subwoofer and amp to thier stock symphony radio? Im planning on having it done tomorrow by a reputable place. But im hoping that it wont void my warranty and hoping people haven't had any bad experinces.

Thanks

Default no problems... but

I assume they are using the blau adaptor to get RCA outputs and NOT line level adaptors...

requires a cut of the factory harness on the back of the HU, but not hard... and shouldn't void anything.

Default the rears? not a mistake... but not as clean as could be done...

and I am kinda unclear as to how the rears work in terms of amplification etc ... I have an avant, and I ripped out the stock stuff, so I am not sure...

but I have front and rear RCAs coming out of the head unit with the adaptor...
