Aftermarket sub in 2012 lariat Supercab

So I ordered an aftermarket JL sub and amp to replace the factory one that came in my truck. I don't want to change the head unit etc, just the sub. So I pulled out the factory box today from under the seat and discovered a little silver amp that powers the factory sub. My question is this. I wanted to just run RCAs off of the factory sub wires and into my new amp etc. but now it looks like I will have to incorporate that little amp because it has a big harness going into it, and then two positive and two negative wires leaving it (the wires I will tap into for my new sub) does this all sound right? I can post pics if needed.

nevermind.. i got it! this thread can be deleted...

Well, what did you do??

I kept the little amp in use and ran the wires from it into my inputs on my amp. Worked perfectly. I am running 1 10w7 JL with a 1000w amp. Sounds awesome

Dang yea I bet its nice! You got any pics of that big boy installed?

In what location were you able to fit a 10w7?

Kinda what I am wondering, maybe he took out his back seat or something. Wish I had room to put in my pickup somewheres.

Here is a quick picture. I just folded up my third seat bottom and did a little fabrication on the steel brackets for the seat. Couldn't fit any better.

Oh ok.. nice. I bet it goes boom boom a little huh? lol!

Haha yeah it gets after it pretty good. I am extremely picky and paranoid when it comes to my truck and JL recommends a pretty long break in period or the sub so I have yet to crank it to its full potential. But so far it has already given me more bass than I need and the control nob is only halfway lol

If you need to break in a sub, you need to buy something else. Put it in and crank away.

haha yeah your probably right.

For those that want to use their backseat there's another option. I'm runnin the Pro-Box 8" and it hits real good. I'm using a 500 watt Fosgate (gain turned down) on it. The box is ported, and is the width of the cab. For one 8, I'm very impressed. Not my first system either... I plan on upgrading the door speakers soon.

A buddy of mine has 2 JL 13's behind his seat and it sounds awesome
