Adding a subwoofer to factory amp.

[Jake Ortega]

I have a Kicker down firing subwoofer enclosure that I would like to connect to my 2023 Model Y. I want to keep the factory amp and current subwoofer. Is there a splitter or adapter that I can buy to do this? Will this even work and would it be worth it? I don’t have much interest in spending a lot of money to fully upgrade the sound system. I got the Kicker subwoofer for free and figured I might be able to use it. Please explain it to me like I am 5 years old. Lmao I can wire up some stuff but I’m no audio expert.

So you want to drive an aftermarket sub and factory sub with the factory amp? Uh no....

Here is the 5 year old explanation. That no work. The factory amp does not have enough power to push two subwoofers.

Can the factory amp be replaced with an aftermarket one?

Maybe. Not sure why you would need to.

If you want more bass add a sub and amp. Theres a plug and play System by Orella and theres also NVX.
