[QUOTE="Another Device, post: 8510185, member: 548839"] First thing is how much are you willing to spend. You will need an amp, a box for the sub, and a way to connect your amp to the head unit. If you want to go a more frugal route, you can buy a Line out converter like [URL="https://www.amazon.com/PAC-SNI-35-Variable-Line-Converter/dp/B001EAWS3W/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1466630259&sr=1-1&keywords=line+out+converter"]this[/URL], tie it in to the stock speakers and run your RCAs from there to the amp. Or you could buy a new head unit and use the RCA connections on the back. You will also need to run a power cable from the battery to the amp, and run a remote power wire from the head unit or harness. I've seen boxes that fit under the backseat, so you could purchase one, or if you have the tools and time you can make your own which I recommend since it would be cheaper and sturdier. As for what sub, we'll need the budget. They do make slim profile subs, [URL="http://www.jlaudio.com/10tw3-d4-car-audio-tw3-subwoofer-drivers-92184"]such as this as an example[/URL] so you shouldn't have too hard of a time finding one that fits.
