Dual 12" subs installed with stock monsoon h/d unit:D
i had my dual 12" subs from my old camaro and lanzar amp so i figured i would try to install it. being that the only head unit i had available i loaned to a friend and it sucked anyway, i didnt mind the stock cd player so i figured i would install it without replacing the head unit. so i bought a line out convertor from radio shack a long time ago that takes 4 speaker wires and converts it to rca's, i forget how much i paid for it like $20 or something. then i took some speaker wire and soldiered the convertor wires to the rear speakers in the hatch. hooked all the wiring up for the amp and subs, turned it on, wow, it worked!!! sounds goood too is damn loud and havent even turned the amp past 1/4 volume.
setup:
Lanzar vibe 410 600watt 4channel amp
Dual 12" hifonic power from the gods
Custom well box
pics from my old camaro, looks about the same:

Thats all you did? I thought it was some lengthy process to add subs to these 4th gens! Does your 98 SS have a Monsoon system? My 99 SS has the cheap *** 200watt Monsoon and it SUCKS! I want some more bass and this would be the way to go, at least until I save up to upgrade the whole system and I make up my mind on what I want!

nice job on the sub install. I am looking to do something very similar. Where did you wire your remote lead on the amp to. I want to use a line level to rca on the hatch speakers too and dont really want to take apart my dash.

looks good, i want to add a sub and replace the rear speakers to my, using the monsoon headunit, but i am wondering on the pros and cons of adding an amp, is it essential? what exactly does it do?
