[QUOTE="Vocaloid, post: 8508665, member: 669952"] Careful when playing with impedance though. If the stock head unit can only handle 4 or 6 ohms or something, then you add another 4 ohm load in parallel, the load can drop too far on that channel and cook yer amp [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG]. Best situation would be if it was a DVC sub, identical impedance per coil, low power handling (matches low output of head unit), in a bandpass box (naturally filters out the highs)... then you can drop the factory speakers and just run a sub on the rear channels - and using the fade control match it to your front speakers [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG]. I'm considering that myself but I've got the same problem you have right now. [/QUOTE]
