Default Subs will they hook up to stock unit?

Ok I have the stock 6 disc player in my car and I just bought some 12'' subs off my friend and I wanted to hook them up in my car so I am going to go to best buy and get everything wired up by them. So its dont right and I wont mess anything up. But is it possible to hoop up the subs to the stock head unit I also have a amp with the subs. Im not sure if this will work or not. Does anyone else have this done to the there car?
THANX

yes it is possible to hook it up, the only problem is the stock unit gives u less power, and that u need to buy a harness which is really cheap, other than that it is fine.

yes, in my last few cars i run a 4 channel amp to the fronts and use the rear channels bridged to run the sub. I keep the rears off the stock head unit or i run them with the fronts (no fade).

This is a great set up for good sound without the hassle of people looking into you car to steal a system.

Go to your local stereo installer and they can hook you up!

what you need is a line out converter, it turns your speaker leads into a rca pre out. you lose a little signal but if you want a stealth looking system this is the way to go. a good line out converter with an ajustable gain control with cost about 20 to 25 bucks

it will hook up and sound fine....in my EP3, i have a fostgate punch 360 amp and a kicker comp vr 12 hook up to the stock head unit and stock mids and tweets through a converter...it looks stock and sounds very good...a 12 inch sub in a hatchback with a good box bumps pretty hard..
