Subwoofer to Boston Acoustics Amps

[AmericanMuscleCars]

Hey guys I was looking to put a subwoofer onto the Boston Acoustics amp I have a 2013 1LT and I don't want to upgrade my amp just yet, I want to spend about 150 with sub and box for now. I don't want to rattle my teeth out with bass either, I also need the space because I am a catcher for baseball. I am looking at a 10 inch sub possibly 12 inch, any suggestions? Also will it still hit fairly hard with the BA amp? Thanks guys!

The boston factory amp isn't adequate enough for the speakers already in there, much less to add a subwoofer to it.

You can check out ********.com and take a look at their "add an amp" wiring kit and their subwoofer box.

It will allow you to add amp and sub without upgrading the factory boston amp for now.

I also saw this on ebay, would this work? I think it will be more bass than the Boston acoustics speakers do or will it be equal to it? Anyways thanks! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kicker-10TC1...item5affc101c4

Could you compare the boss amp to the boston acoustics amp? I mean I'm not going to be running it super high for a ton of hours, I pretty much just want the 10 inch in the box and hope the amp can hold me over until I get the cash to get a 150 dollar kenwood amp. Plus it says it has all of the wiring in that ebay kit, it has crossover too, plus remote bass control. All I would have to do is take out the boston acoustics amp and switch it with the boss then run the sub to the amp right? I'm fine with wiring I don't think I need the fark kit.

You can pay to do it right the first time or the second time. Your choice with the eBay kit

boss amp is walmart quality or bottom of the barrel. might not last long may start on fire who knows. it will work but not worth my money.

Alright looks like I'm going to go and get a kicker 12 inch sun with a kicker amp. Well see how it go's from there. Might as well do it right the first time. Thanks guys! Any recommendations? I will be replacing the BA amp and putting it in the same location hopefully. Maybe I'll put it into the boot area since I don't have a spare tire.

Just so you know, there are very few amps that'll fit in the stock location. The only that come to mind right now are jl xd, jl hd and alpine pdx amps.

Also, I'm confused. How are u replacing the stock amp? Did you buy a 5 channel kicker?

I thought I could buy an amp and just replace it, or could I just buy an amp just for the subwoofer, I want one with a crossover so it takes the bass out of the speakers and just puts it into the sub itself. What will I need? I don't want to buy the FARK kit either will it be hard to wire? how do I go about wiring?

No, the only way you can just replace the amp and add a sub at the same time is if you buy a 5 channel amp. Yes you can add just an amp for the sub and go about it that way. Honestly the easiest way to wire the sub and amp in is to buy a FARK kit. If not, you'll have to splice into factory wiring.

Now what if I am just using the amp to power the subwoofer and I want to keep the stock one for the other speakers?
