Hopefully someone can help me out with this question .
I replaced my factory speakers with the PA style mids and as of most of you know there is no midbass .
I’m wondering if I can use the factory amp to power the factory subwoofer only located under the center counsel so I can get some midbass in the front stage .
If this is possible the next question I have is
I’m using an after market head unit and a older Rockford Fosgate symmetry .
So when using the symmetry the head units volume is set to about 3/4 volume .
So at 3/4 volume in the head unit will this make the factory subwoofer distort or is there something in the factory amp that prevents this ?

assuming you have a GM truck/suv with bose? The amp is ran off high input signal, if you needed you can install a LOC/Line driver. I would just remove it add a different driver and amp and call it a day. With the amount of 6.5" subs and how tiny amps are it will sound so much nicer. From what i have heard through the speakers of many trucks, there is no limiter circuit in those amps.

Is this in your big system? If so, you'll need significant power and high efficiency drivers (a couple of 10s or 12s) to keep up with the rest of the system.
