hooking up a subwoofer

Post by 05spectraSX »

I don't want an amplifier, but I want just subwoofers. Is there anyway to connect the subwoofer to the car. I was wondering if i could somehow connect the subwoofer wires to the rear speaker wires, to create a power source.

you need an amp to power subs plane an simple. you could get one of those infinity bass links that already has an amp built in.

Because my bass is good but i want more. I want my car to thump to my music, which requires some thump to enjoy.
