are you talking about running the subs directly off the stock wires or using a speaker-level adaptor to send a signal to an external amp?

It's called a hi-low level converter available at any car audio store.
Stock Head Unit + Hilo converter = Subs sound like shit
Don't do it dude, save up for an avermarket head unit.

^^^aaron got it. its also called a "line level converter".
it wont sound HORRIBLE, but it could sound better w/ a new headunit running a direct low-level (RCA) signal to the amp. LOL, my first system was a stock tape deck in an '89 dodge colt, running to the converter, to a jensen amp, to a box in the back with one 12" MTX and four 1" motorola tweets (yes, i said motorola, lol). it was still loud as shit, and sounded fairly good for what it was, though i had the soundstage completely behind me.

My buddy did the same thing with his Bose system in his Maxima.. it sounded like shit at first but once tweaked it sounds beautiful! still have a little bass to cut out of the Bose speakers since they are self amplified but his car looks way better with that stock headunit than it would with a single din cd player.

The infinity basslink is nice for " a little bass every now and then" I had one in my blazer a few years ago, I liked it alot the entire day I had it until it was stolen that night, but check it out
