Can I run a 10" sub off of the factory monsoon amp? Without an additional amp.

Default Can I run a 10" sub off of the factory monsoon amp? Without an additional amp.

I know it sounds lazy and dumb but I want to know if I can run a sub without running a new amp. Basically use the Monsoon amp to power it. Obviously it would be way under powered but would it still produce some bass. Im not looking for something you can hear across the street but something to supplement the sail panels.

Or option two, disconnect the sail panels and only use the amp.


Just thinking and looking at Kee Audios, box/sub deal.

Thanks

You actually can, and it will work better than the stock 6.5"s... but not well enough that I would recommend it.
