[QUOTE="gunz4me, post: 5260414, member: 596464"] You could always give the factory amp a try first to see if you are satisfied with its performance. In order to add a sub, you are going to need an aftermarket amplifier with high level inputs or you will need to purchase a LOC (Line output converter). Personally, I would get a LOC and try to tap into the speaker level outputs from the stock head unit versus trying to reduce the output of the factory amplifier to a line level, but that is just me! If you were to use an aftermarket 4 channel amplifier in lieu of the factory amp, I would recommend a product such as a Rockford Fosgate 3sixty or the JL Audio Cleansweep. The 3sixty offers options to do all kinds of crazy stuff, but if you don't need those options, the Cleansweep may be the unit for you! I am still trying to find you some decent infinite baffle subwoofers that you can either hang from the rear deck OR mount to the steel via MDF baffles on the seat backs. ETA: If you have the room, you could always get one of [URL="http://www.aespeakers.com/drivers.php?driver_id=8"]**THESE**[/URL] ETA2: On another forum, some guys are also running the IDMAX 12 subwoofer in an infinite baffle situation, so a pair of 12" subs should be easy to integrate into your install.
