Just wondering how it sounds, I really don't feel like installing my clean sweep in this car or going aftermarket H/U.

How does an aftermarket sub and amp sound on the stock system with just a line converter?

Mine sounds great. 1200w amp, two 12" subs, use the bass control on the head unit to control the sub... No problems after two years

Pretty good. I added the Pioneer sub onto my 4 speaker stock system and it is good.

define good. i think it sounds ok but yes ur gonna loose SQ with the stock radio. get the settings correct and a clean sweep wont make a huge difference on just the bass

The Epicenter Plus from Audiocontrol might be a good suggestion. I've had luck with these before. Just a thought.

i have a infinity type r 10" and a alpine amp.

all that 12" and 15" **** is too much for me i just wanted a nice sound without shakin my car apart and i usually have females in my car and they wont want their ear drums busted so i opted for less.

pretty much everything i do involves a female in some way...just had to realization come to me.

Your gonna lose sound quality with a line convertor. But it will get you the bump you need I would say put the clean sweep back in, your previous setup was awesome. But yeah it would be alot of work!

I had a JL setup on the stock h/u and it sounded horrible till i put my aftermarket h/u in and i gained complete control of it and it sounds so much better!!

my clean sweep sounded amazing, but I had replaced all my speakers and amped them as well... in anycase I am really too busy to install the cleansweep, I may just go with an aftermarket H/U after all.

Get an amp with hi-level inputs and use the factory wires running to the sub as the input.

lol look what i started. Just do it off an LOC and be done with it. if your not happy then do an aftermarket HU. clean sweep would be retarded unless u add a 4 channel and swap out all the speakers

It took me some twinkering as well. completley disconected my factory sub at first, and used the plug'in (4wireconnector) to my amp. Have the filter switch option on my sub to run off the 6x9's. So I ran from the facorty sub connector. I now have an amped sound, more bass than I've ever had, with everything hooked up. I have a clear sound, I was surprisised, and have been running it like that for a whole year.
Running my Remote wire off a toggle switch, So when I don't want the big bang, I flick the switch, and then I'm only running factory sub. And when I want the bang. I turn the bass way down on the H/U, adjust it up 3 or 4 notches, flick that switch, and I'm rumbling!

ehh i had mine hooked up for a couple months to my stock H/U and it sounded aliright. I got sick of staring at my JVC sitting in my room so i decided to throw it in and the SQ difference is amazing

I wish there wasn't so many do-dads you had to install to throw an after factory into these balts, otherwise, I would have had my H/U tore out long ago, Unless someone can tell me something I don't know! ! ! ! Please. LoL.
After factory H/U are always soo much better than factory. I miss my 03 Cavi with the after factory and subs. LoL

not have to install. you dont have to install anything crazy. but the more you do the better it sounds

I ran off a LOC and didn't like it. Heard too many audible highs, since it is run off a full speaker input, and amp settings can only do so much. I pulled it all and bought a 3.sixty.one signal processor to be able to run straight sub tones to it, but it is not in yet. I started a 305 sq ft dynamat/dynaliner project, but got mono, and have not been able to finish. I will do a writeup once the signal processor is in. I have the usb port on my stock unit, so it will be in there forever
