Can you hook up subs to the factory radio???

Or do you need an aftermarket radio...???

Is it hard to wire everything???

What do you guys have in your car???

Lay it down fellas...

I just put in new 6x9's. They were easy. Subs are unneccessary for this car IMO. You have enough punch from high quality 6x9's if you adjust the bass upwards a bit. Who needs to go farting down the street like those guys in overdone Civics and Jettas anyway?

But I think you need to go through a lot of trouble to install subs.

My bro and his boy are car experts w/ car sounds... him and his boys hook shit up... I am not doing the job, they are... I was just curious...

There is a nice ass way to hook up your sounds and making them thump w/o the rattling... and damn is it sweet... that is what i want... some bass

wow. way to generalize. There are lots of cars that have subwoofers stock. Are they overdone? A sub does not make a car ricey or overdone. Its how people use their subs or other equipment.

6x9s are nice, but they won't do everything. I have a sub on my stock headunit and i don't mess with the bass and treble settings. I wanted a non-distorted sound which is why i chose to add a sub. I also wanted to hear ALL the notes. When and if you get a sub, you'll hear notes you never knew were there.

But back to this thread. Yes, you can add sub(s) without changing your headunit. You can either use a line converter that splices into your left and right channels and converts them to RCA outputs. Or they can use the amp wiring and splice them into the rear left and right channels to get sound inputs to the amp.

i have an amp for sale that i used in my TL. it is a subwoofer only amp that hooks up to the factory radio. its a kenwood that outperforms my old soundstream amp. it had the best of both worlds the great sound of the factory system with some bass kick. i have some subs for sale as well. kenwood bandpass box that really booms.

i also have some pioneer 350watt 6x9's that are amazing.
