Just got a headunit and a pioneer sub off a mate.Hooked the sub straiht upto the hu by extending the standard rear speaker wires(untill i can afford a decent amp). can i damage anything by using it as it is? cheers

you will probably nacker the head unit mate,not the best idea to run it straight off that.if i was you i would just wait until you've got an amp incase you will have to go and spend more money on another head unit when youve blown that 1 up.

I'd have thought it'd be more likely to knacker the sub? As the HU is pushing out a full range of frequencies to a speaker that is only designed to handle low frequencies...

what make and model is the head unit?

two of my head units are designed to be able to run a sub directly from them.

if your head unit doesnt have this function, a cheap amp isnt going to break the bank.

If you want a new amp you might want to have a look on these sites...

Is this any good?
I know it doesn't say n e thing about rms but @1200w max the rms should be reasonable.
