kink Member 294 Member For: 16y 8m 7d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 20/09/10 06:15 AM Share Posted 20/09/10 06:15 AM G'day all,I have a G6ET and have been happy with the sound system...until now. I just want a little more bass.I have 2x JBL sub woofers that used to be in my old BA and they are just sitting there in the shed relaxing after the workout they used to get.What I am wondering is if I connect one or both of them to the standard amp how will it sound? Better than the standard will be ideal.I'm not looking to pay money to have a full on set up put in for me, so I'm just wondering what my options are.I do have an amp aside too if it is needed, can I just do a swap?Regards in advance yall.

Doesn't seem like many people have bothered trying with the stock system.

Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

It would probably struggle to run more then the factory sub. Can always try and see how you go?

Davidxr6t03 Member 58 Member For: 14y 9m 29d Posted 20/09/10 10:01 AM Share Posted 20/09/10 10:01 AM Im running a 10" in a box off the standard amp and it's OK and better than the standard sub. I would be more inclined to run a hi to low level converter off the rear speakers into a better amp if you want more boom. I will be doing it in the next week as this is the easiest way to leave the standard cd player in. Running 1 of your subs you already have will be a marked improvement on the standard 8" but it wont be big bass.

Running 1 of your subs you already have will be a marked improvement on the standard 8" but it wont be big bass.Why not pick up the line level signal off the factory amp input, then run that into the aftermarket amp? Would get a better signal that way, and one less component to add noise.One thing that I have noticed though - from just listening it looks like the factory sub gets a full-range signal, although I can't confirm completely as I don't have a 'scope.
