stereo question
I have a 00 c5 with the bose system and the factory 12 disc changer and 1 disc in dash changer, is there any way to hook up a subwoofer (nothing crazy, just one 10" or 12") without changing the deck and still have it sound good?
If not, is it worth it to change the deck out? I think the quality is really good, but I just want a bit more bass. Thanks

Not if you want it to sound good..I hook up in sterio competitions so trust me when I tell you to change the deck..You will not believe the difference in sound when changing the deck..I recommend a deck with at least 2Volt PER PRE-OUT...That will give you enough unless you want more or better..My deck is a 5Volt per pre-out with 4 pre-outs..You get what you pay for so don't get a deck with the crap colours and features..Go for QUALITY and PERFORMANCE, just like your car.

The LL converter you can pick up a local audio shop, should be between 10 and 20 bucks. We sold our basic one for 15.99 and our adjustable one for 29.99. I say we like i still work there, I quit Saturday!!

I think I am going to try the low line and see how it works. I actually have a pretty nice panasonic deck, but I have noticed that the oem deck is slightly larger and I think it would look kinda funny. I am also only planning to install a 250watt alpine 10" that I already have so I dont think its worth it to go all out for something so small. If I was gonna due 2 12", then I would definately change the deck.
anyways, thanks so much for all the help guys. If anyone knows where I can get a diagram for this install, that would be great. thanks

thats a good choice, i installed a line level converter and put in a DVC 10" sub, and it rocks! I just wanted a little more bass to my music without spending tons of $$ on changing everything out.
Several people on this forum have heard my system as it is now and they think it sounds great
overall im very satisfied with the setup
