Am i able to hook up the subs i got for free with my stock radio?

 

ugh. yeah if you have a seperate amp to power that sub. just get a RCA line out converter to convert your rear speaker signal to RCA

 

To get remote you have to tap into the brain under the passenger seat. I think that its the brown wire.

 

OP, what an amazing post. You put some real details in there.

 

so all i need is an amp?

 

^ :palm to face: you should be doing this or asking a question if didn't even know you needed a amp to power subs.

 

This is what you should of done before posting so you would of been able to write a proper question!

I highly recommend you take your car to an audio shop if you don't now what you are doing.

You have to tap into the signal from the speaker out wires on the back of the factory deck. You leech into those wires with a hi-low converter. The hi-low converter has RCA outputs on it that you can then connect to an amp and then run a subwoofer or power additional speakers.

What this does is converter the powered signal (going from the amp built into the deck) that is going to the speakers to a non powered signal that the amp can then power for the sub.

Once again, if you don't know enough about audio electronics then you should take it to a shop. The converters run around 20-30 bucks and the labor shouldn't be much.

I would just run an aftermarket deck with new speakers though. I know it looks nice having a factory unit but the sound quality from an aftermarket unit will be way superior and have more power to drive the speakers better. And the factory speakers have tiny magnets and are very thin. I tried to run the setup you want to do and it didn't work well, the sub and amp didn't respond very well and didn't sound their best. I ended up getting a new deck anyway so don't waste your money with something you will want to change later. You might think they sound good now but once you get a real deck and speakers it will be 100 times better.

And there are some aftermarket deck you can get that don't look that out of place if used with a good deck kit. On my deck I can change between 500 colors for the buttons so they match the factory gauges perfectly. That, matched with a black out screen option makes it look perfectly legit.
