Question After market Sub and Amp installation

I have a 800 watt Cerwin-Vega stealth in my other car with a 300 watt amp. I want to transfer this into my TL, while later I want to add another amp to use the full potential of the sub. Also I want to keep the stock amp and sub running. I Want the stock sub and the new sub all working, but I want the aftermarket sub just yo be working with the aftermarket amp. How would I do this?

Why in the world would you want both subs?
I say discount the factory sub and just hook up the aftermarket amp+sub.

I think you will get the best sound this way.

Agreed. I think keeping the factory sub and adding a aftermarket sub/amp combo is a terrible idea and will sound disguisting. Yank that stock sub out ASAP if you plan to do an aftermarket setup

Well, I have an equalizer, but the reason I wanted to do this is because there is certain types of musioc i listen to and other people like different music so i want the aftermarket sub to be pumping in the mega bassed music and with less hardcore music I wou;d just like the bose system be pumping. Also, I want a trunk system and an interior system. So when I am outdoors I could open up the trunk. I like the sound of the system the TL comes with, but I also want a nice pumpin sub in the trunk. Just ell me whatever u guys think, I am open to suggestions.
