1. How do I hook up a subwoofer? Is there an output on the stock CD/cassette non-bose or do I have to get an amp?
2. What kind of amp?
3. How many watts per channel does the stock send to the speakers?
4. Is it worth it up grading the speakers without getting an amp or subwoofer installed?

Thanks in advance, I looked for the answers but couldn't find them.

 

You will need an amp that will accept speaker level inputs. New speakers will always sound better. I would probably start with a new aftermarket radio. They have more power and you will get more bass out of your current speakers. Then if you want more bass, get a sub and an amp. You will also get RCA outputs with a new head unit. Then, if you still want better sound, replace all the factory speakers. If you really want even better sound, amp the new speakers too, but all this will cost some $$.

 

thanks Audioman,

I just got a bonus at work and I am thinking of some way to use it that I will enjoy it alot, since I spend 3 hours a day almost in my communte to work, I figured new speakers/entire audio system might be a good investment...

Will any audio shop make brackets for our speakers?

thanks again...

 

If you feel up to the task, I would order through crutchfield.com. the web address is pretty much the same. They will provide detailed instructions, and you save a lot of money. Most audio shops can either get or make brackets too.

 

And, if you want REALLY good bass...
say goodbye to your trunk space!!!

No main man, you dont NEED an amp with speaker level inputs IF you have a BOSE system. Cause with that the 8" sub is already getting a line-level signal. All you need to do there is tap into it with a cut off end of a RCA wire.
