yes you can.. but you will get next to no volume out of it..
getting a low powered 8" sub and running it off the rear channels will work but then you need to cross it over set it up in a small box. etc.
honestly not worth it.. better off getting a decent set of splits and running them off the headunit.. will give you much nicer bass.
Put a sub on a 1W amp and you'll be surprised at the volume... Look at a sub's sensitivity rating, it's usually high 80's to low 90dB range... That is not barely moving
But no, running a sub directly from a head unit won't sound very good as the head unit amp is not very capable of reproducing such low frequencies at any decent power level.
hmm, thats about what i thought might happen if i tried to do it :\, i've got 4 6" speakers, 2 x 3 way 300watt and the others are 6" 2 way kicker 195 watt speakers. they sound alright so i'm a bit strapped for cash to get new splits although i'm sure they would sound much nicer.
So i guess my idea of powering it without an amp is scrapped, do i need to get a mono amp or will stereo work? seeing stereo ones are usually cheaper ha.
