use a line out tied into the rear speaker outputs make sure you get one with a gain control on the line out

Why with gain control? If a sub is gettng installed there will have to be an amp which has gain control, why double gain controls? I don't understad.

I had two twelves and an amp in a custom box that kept the parcel shelf intact - you couldnt see what was in the car without lifting the hatch.
Ive since pulled them out and repaced it temp. with a single twelve.

If you want to keep the stock deck use a line output converter. I still have a brand new 4 way adjustable LOC from peripheral if anyones interested. Its yard sale time so itll be going either way.

i love that setup of two 15s and the setup for 2 12s
what would you suggest for an amp to run two alpine r type 12 inch subs?
and where did u get ure boxes done mike?...im a fan lol'

1000 watts RMS should just about do it

but then i would need another amp for my speaker components right...a 4 way channel?

[mikeukrainetz]

id recommend two amps.

I built the box myself. My job is sitting at a desk doing cad for 8+ hours a day and I worked construction for 13 yrs so not a tough job.

The boxes weigh a ton, I would recommend glassing a similar simple shape. Glassing will allow you to control shape / volume better than an MDF box - seems to me anyway. Maybe someone else could chime in.

For the price of some good cheap decks these days its almost not worth using the stock decks.

because a stock head unit puts out low amplitude and has no frequency adj with gain at control on a line out you can adjust the power before it gets to the subs so the amp is getting a stong signal so the amp will send a better signal to the subs it wont efferct sub gain just responce in general it does make the subs operate better

Now that makes sense. I will borrow your advice for my own car.
