Sub with stock head unit I am considering buying a sub hump box with a 250 watt amp from a friend. I would be hooking it up to my stock head unit and I was wondering if anyone has done this and if so how it sounds. I dont really want to pull the monsoon so i am deciding on whether or not to buy it, also the amp has a jack that looks like a telephone line would go in it? I have never seen an amp with that but maybe it is something new.
It works fine and the quality is on par with the rest of the factory system. Is it audiofile grade? No, but definitely acceptable.
Just be sure to tap the signal before the monsoon amp, not at the speakers.

Thanks for the input guys. It has a 250 watt amp but it is a little small. I remember back in the high school days when everybody had to have a bad *** system they said that what you pay for the amp is usually how many watts it really puts out. I always laughed at that analogy but is this a good amount for a sub like that or does it need more. Also with the remote base lead i was getting confused with the blue wire that operates the antenna and remote for the amp. So with this jack i would basically have a small remote to adjust the bass in a different part of the car?
I just added a sub and amp to my monsoon system. I ran a step down converter from the monsoon sub speaker wire to the amp.
I have a Sony XM-22 (?) 2 channel amp, mounted on the back of the monsoon amp, and an 8" bazooka tube. Sounds very good.
I need to post picks of it.
