2012 Expy EL Limited with factory nav, factory dvd players in the headrests and factory sub.
I want to keep the factory headunit (too cheap to buy a different one that does all the same stuff), I already bought Polk DB 6501 components for the front doors, DB651s for rear doors, plan on running an older 12" shallow pioneer 2ohm sub (Pioneer TS-SW1201S2) in a custom fiberglass box in stock location.
My questions are these:
1. Has anyone added an amp to the stock wiring? Is there a stock amp for the door speakers?
If there isn't a stock amp powering the doors, I want to add a small in size 100x4 amp in the dash with speaker level inputs and push the 100 watts to the door speakers through factory wiring.
2. I plan on using the stock sub amp to power the 12. Since it is single voice coil and the stock amp is already running at 1.2 ohm per channel, I should (in theory) be able to run it bridged at 2ohms (1 ohm per channel). I do plan on upgrading to a dedicated sub amp in the future, just want to experiment this way to pass on a CHEAP DIY way for people to upgrade and get better sound from the stock enclosure and amp for cheap.
Suggestions? I have looked for wiring schematics and none seem to show a stock amp other than the sub amp.
