3. You will not be able to drive it with the HU to any significant loudness level
a. putting this in parallel with one of the channels (there are only 2 wires) will increase the load on THAT channel, and cause distortion
b. car HU amps do not normally allow bridged operation, so you really can't span both the channels

In short, NOT! As for the new car, it will feel downright insulted, and may refuse to come home with you!!!
So you think it works with an amp? Sorry for not killing the idea yet! And if I understand correctly, a HU gives out a single set output for the sub (if at all)?

So this is not an outright impossible idea.

Granted. But do let me deliberate the idea however for the knowledge you share and I gain.

Thanks all.
