There are 6 speakers. 4 (4")powered by the head unit and the 2 (6") door speakers powered by the tiny amp in the trunk. This is not a sub amp. Iit barely powers two weak 6" speakers.

Get a sub amp for your sub. Would you try and use the 6" speakers as subs? No. So don't use the miniscule amp that's for them on a sub.

I have a 4 channel amp. 2 chanels are hooked to my door speakers with the high pass filter on. The other two channels are brigded to my 10" sub. I am using the low pass filter on my sub.

I replaced all my speakers. I replaced my Head Unit too. So, if you can, use your Headunits crossover to adjust the dash speakers frequency.

I used to install car stereos. I have done over 100 custom installs.

IMO, line out converters are Garbage. I have always had problems with them. If at all possible, use RCA out from the head unit. THe stock deck has RCA out.
