Could I run a low wattage 8" sub off of my head unit? Could I wire it up like a normal 6x9 in the rear deck?
As long as its not a final impedance less than 4 ohms. To get any effect at all you will need an extremely sensitive and efficient sub.Would it damage the head unit do you think?

None. I would recommend you buy an amp, a sub, and box and do it right.What sub would you recommend?

What does your current "system" consist of? if adding an 8" sub off HU power is considered 'adding on'I already have a system, I'm just wanting to add on
Ya know, that actually sounds feasible. Run each 4 ohm coil off a rear HU channel. Could you find a driver that would work for him? (I'm no speaker guru).You can do it. Just find a dual voice coil woofer with a very compliant suspension, low Fs, and decent sensitivity, rather than a subwoofer with a stiffer suspension and high power handling. Wire up each rear channel and expect a notch or two better than stock performance. Look on PE for some raw drivers.
I'd go to Madisounds site or Parts Express and get one. They've always got buyouts...Maybe something like this: http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-8-woofers/goldwood-gw-8024-8-woofer-4-ohm/ it's only rated at 65 rms and it's cheap.Ya know, that actually sounds feasible.
