How can I get base in my car?? I want my sub back

[npcout 10+ year member]

I had an awesome setup, JBL MS-8, JBL 4 Channel, and JBL MONO.. all powering my speakers and tc epic 10.

My MS-8 broke, stuck in protect mode. Car audio shop checked everything, couldn't find any issues. They uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and still, wouldn't work. I contacted JBL, it was only a year old and they honored the warranty but the MS-8 is discontinued so they can't send me one.. they gave me store credit for what i spent which is useless to me for now.. ill find something.

I have my factory head unit in, hence the ms-8 in my 2015 honda fit. My wife will not allow me to purchase a new head unit or ms-8 off ebay the few that are left (Plus id loose a lot features i enjoy with a new unit). We don't really have the money right now.. head unit will be in the near future.

The car audio shop used a 2 channel hi/lo to connect my 4 channel amp for my speakers so at least i have that (Thats all they had in stock, didnt have a 4channel). My speakers on the stock unit actually sound pretty **** impressive, i was quite shocked.. I am by no means disappointed with the speakers not having the ms-8 although with the ms-8 there was a difference.

Can I daisy chain my 4 channel amp to my sub amp to utilize my subwoofer? They are class D amps if that matters..

4 Channel Amp: 100X4 RMS

Mono Amp: 500X1 RMS

The car audio shop said it will drop my voltage, but i dont really no what that means or what that will do.

Any way around it? Can i buy something to up my voltage?

Would switching out for a 4 channel hi/lo work? using the other 2 for the subwoofer?

Any other options?

Use highs amp on front chs ...use sub amp tapped into rest speakers ...rear speakers don't need to be amplified only sub and front stage ..you can do away with rear completely
