Default Aftermarket Subwoofers and OEM Sub

I have to ten inch explode sub-woofers that I want to put in but I also would like to keep the stock under-cargo sub. Has anyone done the wiring for having a aftermarket sub plus the under-cargo one?
Thanks

I think reading previous posts have said that the stock subwoofer is pretty small like 6" or something. 10" would def not work in the subwoofer.

A lot of people build enclosures for the tC in the rear. Like ^^^ he said he makes them, and are very good quality. There is also a company that makes an enclosure the exact same shape of the stock sub, but allows you to put any size sub you want into it. Search the forum, I forget who makes them.

No, you cannot use the stock sub for an aftermarket sub.

He is asking if you can run both subs at the same time.

Yes you can, I had my car set up like this for a good while. Go into the undercargo area, and peel back some of the insulation from the plug that is at the (from the top) bottom left of the stock sub. Once the wiring is exposed, tap into the four wires that are the feeds from FL+/- and FR +/- (I had the pinout for the plug somewhere, if you really can't figure it out, let me know and I'll try to find that for you), wire them into a line out converter ($20 bucks at any walmart or any place like that), run that to your amp's input, and you're done!
