[QUOTE="Stephenwisham, post: 8508504, member: 670212"] I was at my local pick n pull today looking for some used aftermarket 6x9's for my car and came across a Lexus with a small stock sub in the back deck. Nothing special, but I thought if I could add it to my current stock system, it may give me a little bump. I'm not looking to rattle my truck. I have a 4 month old and just wanted a little more bass than the 6x9's can give. I hooked the sub to one of my rear speaker wires to make sure it worked and it does. Actually sounded decent for not being amplified. I want to find a way to mount it in between the 6x9's in the rear deck without an amp, just wired from the head unit. My question is is how do I get a left and right signal. I could just hook it up from one speaker but it won't be in stereo. Is there a way to use both the left and right outputs in the back to get stereo sound? Wired directly or with use of a small electronic device? I don't care to use an amp and my head unit is stock so there aren't any options that I know of there either. [/QUOTE]
