Subwoofer install and line output questions?

I'm looking to install a sub in my car but replacing the head unit isn't an option and I'd like to do it in the least invasive way possible. I've been looking at cheap loc converters but the results arent always good and the ones that work are way too expensive. I was wondering if I could use a sub crossover with high level inputs to get better bass or is that just crazy? How would I wire it to turn the amp on and off anyway? Also I have a Sebring with 4 6x9 speakers and I was wondering if it would overload the loc because it has good sound for stock? Sorry but I'm new to car audio.

    No, you're not going to overload anything. You don't have to wire the LOC behind the radio. You can wire it in the rear speakers and run shorter RCA cables from the LOC to the amp. If you want to start using the features an equalizer has (such as bass enhancements, crossovers and such) just buy an aftermarket radio. Running a processor through a stock head unit would be pointless. The remote lead can be wired to any +12v switched power source (you're factory radio's lead, cigarette lighters, wipers or even your own switch).
