Please Help - Installing Subs

[J1211c]

Hi everyone.. I am putting in two audiobahn subs and hope to run the signal from my mache audio sound system subwoofer. I hooked it up tonight and it sound like sh**. But i wired it up after the stock amp so it was running on 2 amps.. think this is what did it.. and how could i bypass the amp.. i see 4 wires going into the amp i dont know what one is what tho.


Thanks alot guys

How about running a line out converter from the rear speaker wires?

I guess thats a possibility.. But Are the mache adio speakers amlified too?

I don't think so. I know the normal stereos went to an internal HU amp, and dropped the stupid external amp.

amps

I don't know much,but I sure you shouldn't run amps in series.They have to be bridged,and your stock amp is probably not bridgable.I would remove the stock amp from the set up,and hope that you didn't damage your new amp.
