I have the pioneer system with the sub. I also have an Alpine mono amp and a alpine 10 in box sitting in my room. I was wondering if i could do a little plug and play kinda thing...i was wondering if i removed the pioneer sub and replaced it with the amp and new sub if it would all work like the stock system but just have more bass, now that i would have the better 10..? im not educated on audio/video..thats why im here...can someone clue me in on our stereos lol?

 

if it aint broke dont fix it

It's been reported that the stock sub is borrowed from aftermarket and can hit even harder with a more powerful amp. Based on that, I'm guessing it's really a decent sub. I wouldn't bother replacing it unless you're sure what you're sticking in there is a better sub.

Why do you want to replace it anyway? the current sub doesn't sound good enough or loud enough to you?

 

No the pioneer doesnt hit nearly as hard as my alpine type r does...when i have the pioneer sub goin it starts to distort...all i was wondering is if this is possible or not?

 

^^^ If it si let me know thats oen thing I'm thinking abotu when I get my SS

 

Maybe you should just take a chance and see what happens then.

 

nooo, the amp and sub from the factory are made to work together
you have no idea what the impedance and wattage of the combo is
if anything, put in another amp and your sub, dont risk ****** up your stock woofer tho

 

Tiny, i wouldnt risk messing up my stock woofer i would remove that and remove the amp??but im htinking the amp is one amp-for the sub and speakers, if it is i cant do this mod then...

 

The rear speakers are 2 ohm.. So the amp can already handle a 2 ohm load. Sticking a sub with a higher impedance in there won't damage anything. I'd say there's a good chance it's pretty safe unless I'm overlooking something.

The wattage doesn't really matter. The sub is only going to use what the amp delivers to it.

If you're just replacing your sub, it's probably best to use your previous amp just for the sub and then you stick your previous sub in there and no problems.

 

ok buddy here is what u do go to best buy buy a something that u can splice into your year speaakers that your rca caples plug into then bam hook up ur sub and leave in the pionner everyones happy

 

just splice the line output converter to your left and right rear speakers and there you go
