Default 2nd Gen Aftermarket Sub install

I have a pair of alphasonik 800 series subs.....

they are ridiculous, a total of 3600 watts.

And I have a 02 amp.

I was wondering if anyone has wiring instructions on how I can wire these suckers in with my stock deck. I dont have navi, just the regular sound system and I want to run it to my amp which in turn to subs...

I want to keep my stock speakers and was wondering how I can cut off the bass to them and just keep the highs.

I have a 2001 gs430 btw.

Let me know if anyone has ideas.

get a line out converter, this is so that you can get the signal to the subs. Keeping stock mids and highs is not recommended with that much power you wont be able to hear anything but the bass. You cant really get the mids and highs working without bass the stock radios eq is inadequate, unless you are gonna get another amp and an external eq than you can keep the stock radio and get mids and highs, but if you are gonna do a system I suggest that you save up and do it right in the end you'll wonder how you ever listened to music before.

Come see mine and GSoup's set up. We both have aftermarket 10's in the stock sub location we did ourselves.

I don't know the SC set up but we removed the stock sub and installed:

Line Converter
AMP
Distribution Block
Aftermarket Sub
Aftermarket Amp
Capacitor

in my trunk.

Soup's is a little different because his is routed through his Mini Mac but basically the same principle.
