Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 2927 Registered: Mar-06 | My brother's home from school and wants to add a little bump to his stock monsoon system in his volkswagen. what's the reality of throwing like one of those ED13kv.2s in there while keeping everyhting else stock. I don't know for sure, but i would imagine it's externally amplified. with my jeep, i had to completely bypass the stock infinity system all new wiring, that's NOT what i want to do. Is there any possibility of adding an amp/sub to either my brothers stock monsoon or like my mom's summer car's stock infinity? also, what's a cheap amp that'll do 400 at 2 ohms. i've got the kicker zx400 on the list. hopin to stay below 125 shipped MAX |

I have 6 of those subs and a BNIB Zx500.1 amp that I could give you a good deal on but not for $125 tho. That sub will take more than 400w as long as you're smart about it. http://www.edesignaudio.com/elementaldesigns_13kv2chart.php |

I have installed a system in one of those before (amp and subs keeping everything else stock) and IIRC it does not have a bass filter on the rear speakers. So you can connect the amps speaker level input to the rear speakers. Use an LOC if the amp doesn't have speaker level. Downside is that you can't reduce bass to the speakers without reducing it to the subs also. And it won't sound as good as an entirely aftermarket setup. |
