attn: adiophiles: Just wanna add a small sub...
Fellow adiophiles, my max has the midrange system available when the 2k max first came out. CD, tape (used once lol) and 5 speakers, fronts up in dash, and rears in back seat near your feet. All totally factory. The sound is not bad, but lacks just a little more in the low freq range. I have a killer home system, so I didnt need one in the car, and didnt have the $ at the time I bought the max.
1. Is it real tough just to add a small (or the smallest available) powered sub in the trunk, or maybe the rear lid? (that has a place to add another speaker, probably the one that comes with the optional bose)
I'd imagine wiring power and signal wires will be tough to do correctly.
2. Will this powered sub have alot of noise at lower volumes?
3. Would a local car audio joint cost a ton of bucks to just add a sub? (if its indeed possible)
Thanks guys in advance!!
Gary

I'd recommend you go to your local Best Buy/Curcuit City type place and have them install a 10" woofer in one of those Q-sound ported boxes with a modest size amp, like 200 RMS. Anything more would be overkill with the stock system. If I'm not mistaken, those places usually have low install costs.

Look around for an Infinity Basslink ($200 online). A lot of members are adding this to their system because it makes a pretty good level of sound, weighs 14lbs, and comes with a remote level control. Do a search, it's pretty easy to install (very easy actually). Do it yourself and save on the 2 hours of labor the shop would charge.

I bought a basslink at The Wiz it is a store on Long Island that just closed it was 30% off so i got it for $200. It was sooo easy to install. The sound is amazing except for the rattle from the trunk which is unavoidable. Otherwise its amazing. The hardest part is figuring out which speaker wires are which in the back.

Run new power from the battery... the install kit comes with wires to tap into all 8 speaker wires, this way the sub won't fade out from front/rear. The easiest place to tap in is behind the head unit, and just run everything back together. You don't need a remote turn on because the Basslink detects signal from the speaker inputs and automatically turns itself on.
