Need Help Choosing The Right Set Up For Installing Subwoofer

Hey guys. I have a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer SE and my question is that I find that the stock speakers sound really great but they don't have that "Boom" that I want when I listen to R&B and Pop songs. I want to know, if I put in a single 10" or 12" Subwoofer in my car, will the stock head unit be able to support an amp and a subwoofer or do I need to buy a separate deck, amp and subwoofer altogether rather than just buying an amp and subwoofer? I want to avoid replacing the dash kit with an aftermarket one. What would my options be and how much would you guys charge for installation roughly?

 

Thanks,

 

Jack.

Re: Need Help Choosing The Right Set Up For Installing Subwoofer

Yes you can add a subwoofer/amp to any factory system with a hi-to-low level convertor (some amps have them built in). Also an amp with a remote gain would let you control the bass on the fly, as the factory radio does not have a subwoofer control option.

 

If you do want to replace the deck, they do have kits now that look pretty good. You could even bring the kit to a car shop and have them paint match it exactly to your car's dash colour for a seamless fit. But the colour is pretty close anyway.
