Buy an amp that allows for a speaker level input.
This means the audio signal can be spliced from one of the rear speakers wires and provides the audio source for the amp. Then your amp can drive your subwoofer. Might be worth getting an amp that has a high/low pass filter function, so that it can filter out higher frequencies from the rear speaker audio source and keep only low bass frequencies. Run the remote "turn on" wire for the amp to a switched 12volt feed e.g. cigarette lighter (which turns off when key is in OFF position) and you should be good to go. |

No really clued up enough mate I've done plenty of audio installs but none where I'm trying to keep factory components so would the amp on the sub not be good enough ? Also when you say splice into the rear speakers wouldn't I get audio as well as bass through the sub and If I do splice will the factory amp power the sub sorry very confused but thanks for your advice
