This is to the standard stereo system. Pretty weak on the bass response. Can you buy an amp and replace the factory one? Can you replace the bass drivers underneath the seats with better ones? I'd like to be able to do the job like this without having to buy an amp and a sub and run it off the speaker level....don't want to take up trunk space nor run a power wire either....

Seems cleaner if I could do it this way.

Suggestions?

Thanks.
