Subs And Amp??

[deemer]

Hey guys I was just wondering if my 99 alero's stock system would be able to support a amp and sub.. I'm lookin into gettin them but I don't wanna really rip out my whole dash.... lemme know what you guys think

you will have to get line level converters, or an amp that has hi-level inputs. and connect via rear speaker wires, unless you have a factory amp?

I wouldnt even bother with line inverters or high level inputs, they usually sound like crap, first thing you need is a new head unit. CD player units are getting cheap these days you can get a decent one for 100 bucks. But that way you can run some RCA cables and an amp turn on wire back to the amp. The factory speakers you could probably get away with keepin if you just want a little extra knock. Just get a head unit with subwoofer volume control and turn the bass all the way down on your head unit and turn the subwoofer volume up. I did it that way for a while before I replaced my factory speakers.

I guess that's why Navone LOCs have been used in winning competition cars then? :rolleyes:

No I don't actually have a factory amp... How would I go about running the rca cables??

one you can tap into the speaker wires in the back of ur deck using a converter box or you can connect it to your 6x9s and just plug ur rcas in that and ur golden and they actually sound pretty damn good theres a little differance but not much from a cheap aftermarket HU
