yes you sure can, but i added 2 amps, capacitor and 1 JL sub, but then i removed it all, too much. thiers 2 ways to do it 1# if you have the factory sub just use those wires to get remote and speaker output 2# direct connect to the back of the stereo.

Low level converters, or a subplug.

You would need a line out converter to connect any amplifiers to the stock head unit.
Ultimately, if you're going to spend money on subs and amps, spend a bit more and get a proper head unit.

If you have an Alpine deck, just plug it in.

install the deck.

no self-respected audio guy would install a system without changing the headunit first
source of sound more important than what produces it

you really need to start searching buddy, the search is already cluttered thanks to other noobs like yourself

and a simple comment, anything is pretty much possible... with enough money
