[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8712564, member: 679555"] I would leave it so long as it's not majorly in the way. The way they're put together at the factory it's usually a standard OEM head unit going into an aftermarket amp, so no change to the OEM radio apart from where the wires go. Because of this I'd say the OEM amplifier outputs are superior in every way than the high level signals going to it. The only concern is that your LOC is able to handle the wattage coming out of its high level outputs. If you get an LC2i or similar audiocontrol product it'll handle 400W, which exceeds anything an OEM amp will put out. As for the subwoofer, it could be nice for playing some of the mid-bass frequencies, I don't think it's hurting anything but make sure you factor that into your box tuning if you decide to keep it. You don't want two speakers in the trunk canceling each other. I suspect that you'll also get more gain than the average person by experimenting with reverse polarity and regular polarity for the most sound on higher bass notes. It could become a headache, but it's worth trying with and without it connected if nothing else. [/QUOTE]
