![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
is there anyway i can run a seperate amp, to two 12's in the trunk of my car along with the stock system? i don't wanna rip anything out but i would love more bass, is there a way to do that? i want to keep the stock amp powering the speakers, in the cabin, but i know i'm gonna need a more powerful amp to make those twelves knock, so what if i just added an amp? what do u guys think? let me know!

Dude I have a similar setup to what you are looking for. Shoot me a PM for details. I can't figure out how to post pics to the forum since the upload thing is disabled. Send me a email address & I will show ya what i got in my E55.

Do what ever you gotta do elsewhere,but get JL Audio subwoofers,and an Alpine sub amp,and you'll be 'scraight'!!!! That one below has both,and I'm a happy MF.....

sound system
All you have to do is get a RCA converter. They sell and install in any stereo shop. Thats what I did. I kept the factory stereo and speakers and added a Rockford Fosgate Punch Power Series 12" woofer and a Rockford Fosgate Punch amp. It sounds great. With all the bass I think I'm going to buy some MB Quart component speakers for the front, to give it a crisp sound.

so?
so what do you guys think? u think i should just get that converter? and leave the headunit? i'm really scared to take out that headunit, cuz i don't want to ruin anything in the car, so maybe if i just run that amp in trunk and mount it somewhere, and here is another question, what do you guys think about those 4 holes, for those four woofers in the rear deck? i was thinkin of carving two 10" holes there, and just fitting in 2 10's what u guys think? lots of info will be appreciated.
