aight... another question... is an amp absolutely necessary to power your sub and deck? or can you live without one if you don;t play your music loud?

your stock deck and/or aftermarket deck is not strong enough to power a sub.

you can still connect it, but you won't hear ur sub..or it'll be so quiet that you wish you had an amp...what kind of sub do you have? because if your just trying to go the cheapest way, just bare minimum stuff..find a second hand one for cheap, or go to xs cargo and pick up a jenson amp..i heard they're really cheap...

Those Jensen amps are great. For $60 you can get 300w model. Terrible distortion at high gain, but for pumping out the bass from your FM station in rush-hour traffic, they're wicked.
