putting a sub and amp to a stock headunit

[duehicky]

U surely can. Depending on the size of the amps u may need a 2nd battery or an upgraded main battery I'm pushing 1479 watts and I couldn't run it at max without my 2nd battery.

So the standard head unit is powerful enough to handle a couple of subs off of a LOC?

^^ It's the amps that "handle" the subs.

The head unit merely provides the signal to the amps (via a LOC in this case)..

I'm considering doing this. Would anyone recommend a speaker upgrade as well? If I did that I'd probably just do the four 6" ones in the doors and leave the tweeters and center speaker in the dash.

If your going to upgrade your speakers amp them as well otherwise it won't sound any good.

How about a sound processor, if say you were going for 6.5" splits, 6" 2 way rears and a sub (4ch and a mono)
Do they make much difference?

I only have a 2ch but I'll try different things that ppl have suggested so far

I just tapped off the rear left door, u can access the wires where the door hinges are. Straight into the high in on the amp. It was good at the beginning, but now a year later the main speakers have had it so to say, sounds all distorted.

With 4 speakers and 1 sub, no. Spend the extra money if you want to, on better speakers themselves. I have been recommended focal splits for VE's.
