One Sub, Two Channels

[coach12]

Hey Everybody,

I have two 6x9s wired to the fronts on my head unit. Now I have been given a new 10" sub. Is there any way I can wire this thing to both rear channels and get the available 100 watts, without having an amp?

I wouldn't for several reasons

1. probably not good for your head unit.

2. Your not going to get anywhere near 100w out of a h/u with two channels, most likely not even with all four combined which would definitely fook the h/u up

3. Won't get any kind of usable output from the sub.

4. Subs need allot more power than a head unit can provide.

My advice get a low power cheap amp for the sub, and leave the h/u powering the other speakers in your car. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

ditto, get a small power amp, wiring kit, and a box for the sub.

You need a sub amp. The good folks at Profile have cheap factory refurbs that are highly reccomended. Check them @ http://www.profilecaraudio.com/amplifiers.htm
