New member Username: BdbruschPost Number: 3 Registered: Apr-07 | I have a 98 jeep grand cherokee. I just bought 2-12" subs, an amp, and a headunit cheap. I was wondering if there is a way to hook the subs up to my existing stock HU or do i have to install the new HU? While doing so, i won't lose my existing door speakers will I? |
