I can't put an after market head unit in the car because of the dash, so first does anyone know if there are preouts in the factory stereo head unit. Secondly, if there are, it mentions in the manual about "subwoofer - if equipped" and tells about how the loudness can be controlled from the head unit, but is that for only 'honda installed options' or can i simply plug my stuff in and the car will recognize a sub and control it from there? Any information will be helpful. Thanks.

The factory system does not have usable preouts. No you can't just "plug in a sub". Clear your mind of these thoughts and read on.
Many amplifiers have what is called a high-level input. They accept the high voltage from your factory HU's speaker outputs. You run additional speaker wires from your connected rear speakers to the high-level input of the amp. You do not need to keep any speakers disconnected. You will not be able to control your sub amp with the factory unit. Depending on the amp, you may be able to have a bass boost at your finger tip via a remote knob. Rockford Fosgate used to make these. A remote knob can be installed in the dash and connected to the amp via basic telephone cable.
If you feel uneasy abou choosing the correct equipment, you may be best off to talk to a professional and your local shop or contact crutchfield.com .
