2001 Eclipse sub install

hey guys, I know that I'm not the most active on here, so I apologize for that...

I want to install 2 12's in my girls 2001 eclipse that has the infinity stereo in it. now her car club is telling her to just cut the rear speaker wires, split them,  and run those to the subamp. I was wondering if these cars ever came with a sub, or if there was another, more correct way to do this.

Thanks!

First of all, to my knowledge, the eclipse never came stock with a subwoofer.When you say it has an infinity stereo system, what do you mean? does it have an aftermarket head unit? Do you already have an infinity amp? if so, how many channels is it?and are you currently using it to power your speakers?

Theres a way you can take the sound from your rear two speakers( which are probably 6x9's) and run it to your amp, but you need a converter box to do this, i forget what its called.

The correct way to install the two subs( assuming you have the right amp and an aftermarket head unit) is to take the sub outs on the back of your head unit and run that to the amp. obviously, theres alot more to it then that. just post up some more specifics and ill try to help you.

good luck.

the infinity sound system is the stock setup for the GT model eclipses. I may just have to splice into the rear speakers to do what im doing. she doesnt want an aftermarket sound system - yet. i wish that she did have a aftermarket head unit, then i would have had it done by now. im just trying to find the correct way to run this setup.

thx
