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.

:shhh: i do cocaine :/shhh:

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
