You could try doing what i did.. I disconnected the mosfet chip in the stock head unit, ran rca's to an equalizer, then to an amp powering the stock speakers and another amp for the rear aftermarket sub.. I have an eclipse sw9 ten inch.. the bass is way past overkill and is getting annoying ( level controller for the sub is broken.. after i lent the car to a freind). but i guess its what appeals to you guys in the states..
adding a seperate amp for the speakers has most def improved the sound quality... worth doing..
I have pics on my install on a previous thread..

It's fiber optic from the head unit/deck to the Bose amp in the trunk too. calimax is right, it's possible put the amp for the sub in without a Cleansweep.

As for worring about drawing too much power, that isn't a concern with a good enough cap. My C's Diamond amp is rated at 800W at 2 ohms @ 12V (running 400W RMS at 4ohm), so that rates to a peak of 66amps total current draw (using a little V=IR and P=IV math), and I have no dimming/powerloss/etc.
