My friend is going to be giving me two 12" sony xplods soon. They're already in an enclosure and connected to an amp. I helped him install them in his car a long time ago but we just did it the ghetto way, feeding off one of his door speakers. I currently have the BOSE setup in my 2001 max. I'm going to be taking out the sub to use the hole as a port.
1. Is there a huge sound quality difference between feeding off a speaker and connecting to the HU?
2. If i decide to feed off a speaker, i should be able to do it right off the cables that were plugged into the bose sub right?
3. If i do that, will i need to use a crossover?

thanks for the help

 

i dont know if the wires going to the bose sub are already crossed over im pretty sure they are, unless there is a crossover on the sub itself but u could try using those for an easy hook up, and if that doesnt work well, u can always run it to the head unit, but i believe with the bose u are going to HAVE use speaker level inputs (using the speaker wires)
