Hi, I know pretty much nothing about car audio so bare with me. I tried a search as well but wasn't able to find anything.

First things first, the truck I am hoping to do this to is an 07' ram 1500 4x4 laramie with the infinity sound system. I have an 8" ultra linear sub that has been laying around doing nothing for a few years (model UL808W 400W max power) and was curious what I would need to do to add it into my current stereo system. I know i'm not going to get crazy bass from an 8" sub and thats not what i'm going for. I don't mind the infinity system but wouldn't mind getting a bit more base using this sub if it isn't too hard to do. I know the infinity system can be a bit of a bi%^& to tie into so i'm not sure i'll be able to do it.

so.. Is it as simple as just buying an amp and tying into the current system, or am I opening a can of worms if I try this? If it's just an amp, do you have any recommendations? I'm not looking for a high quality system as i'm sure the sub i have isn't the best quality already, if i'm going to do this I want to do it as cheap as I can and still have a functional system.


edit: after some more searching... is it just as easy as running an LOC off the front speakers since they are dedicated to mids and lows and then running that to the amp which runs the sub?

 

It is just as easy as that

 

thats great! i thought it was going to be a lot more involved than that, thanks.

Now my next question, would anyone have recommendations for brands/models to look at for this application? or point me somewhere to look for/learn all this stuff because I am lost when it comes to car audio components.

 

not sure of any brands but Im sure ebay and Crutchfield have tons of them.

 

Okay thanks. I think I have found all the components that I will need. I am thinking about placing the sub in the lower storage area of my centre console, it should fit well if I take the plastic insert out and I don't really use the space for much anyway.I would then place the amp under my drivers seat. The reason for this is that I want to keep the rear storage under my back seats free for tow ropes, chains, booster cables, etc. So my question with this is has anyone else ever done it this way(any tips of what to do/avoid?) or is there a reason no to do it this way and go behind the back seat instead?

okay, not quite what I was looking for but along the same lines. I am most likely going to have to make something custom to actually fit within my console (i don't have the 40/20/40 seats, I have buckets with the console in the middle) or bite the bullet and put it under the rear seat. I think thats all my questions answered, thanks for all the help weedahoe
