Adding more bass to stock system

[1997PAU]

First off, I own a 1997 Park Avenue Ultra and I am very satsified with the stock sound system. I just wish it had a little more bass. I was thinking i could tap into the wires going into the amp in the trunk and use some line out converters. My only concern is that the stock head unit may be cutting out the bottom end frequencies to protect the stock speakers and if i install subwoofers it will end up sounding like shit.

So, is this the case? and if it is; will installing a new headunit be practical with the ultra's premium sound system?

Thanks in advance for reading

You need to tap into the wires coming out of the stock amp going into the rear speakers, then add a sub and smp

You need to re-equalize the bass from your stock HU, as most have built in eq thats tailored to the factory speakers.

Something like the MTX re-Q (at the least), which you

can find here-
