I just upgraded my sound system the other day.

They had to run a power wire with fuse from battery to amp, groundrf the amp, tapped into the ML sub with a Line Output convertor, ran a line for the LOC to the amp. Then ran wires from the amp to the sub. My setup included two 10's in a box with a 550 watt 3 channel amp and it hits plenty hard for me. ML amp and sub are in place and still being used.

Hope this helps.

The headunit and ML amp are an active processing controlled unit-the amp and headunit work as one-the only way to upgrade is with a signal summing device from the output of the ML amp like the Audison Bit 1.1, JBL MS-8, etc,etc...I used an MS-8 and it sounds awesome running 3 amps. I had the Bit 1 first- but it is considerably more difficult to tune...the MS-8 is automated using a special headset that contains mic's.
