Default Standard Head Unit + Additional Sub?

As per title really, does anyone know if the standard Infinity head unit can take an active sub as well as all the standard speakers ?
Is there another socket in the back to plug it in does anyone know please?
Failing that can anyone recommend another head unit (in silver) that will allow for all of the standard speakers + an additional sub? (Oh & with ipod connection)

If your car is a Limited (and I think all "exports" were) then the head is not your question - the amp is the question.

May I suggest you read thru the service manual's audio system section and you will understand?

Many thanks for this info, will take a look & assess from there.
I can only assume that mine is limited being an import.

So I ended up changing the head unit to a Sony after being convinced by the audio guy that it would be a direct replacement without any modifications needed. Connected it all up no problem but no sound from rear speakers at all! Went back to the shop only to be told that on their system it doesn't list that my car has an additional amp & I would need to make sure that the amp wire was actually connected to the blue wire on the wiring loom that came with the stereo.... I found out that the amp wire is no 5 A & made sure that this was connected to the blue wire but still no sound! Any suggestions please as it's really frustrating..... Please note that I didn't add a sub, just standard speakers but new head unit.
