Don't even try running the stock sub once you've got two more in the trunk....the air pressure caused by the one's in the trunk are way too much for the stock one to deal with and still run while still sounding decent. I tried this when I put my Polk's in, and it sounded terrible......not even worth experimenting with. Good luck man!

Trust me you want a switch and you can cut out the stock sub just cut the two wires hooked up to it and hook it up to a line level converter

Its not that hard to do It but what I would do is buy all the stuff for it so you know its good stuff put in it. I'm still highly stressing a switch because there is times where you still want to listen to music but you don't want any unwanted attention

Based on your experiece or lack there of, I think having someone install it is a good idea. Also, there's an audio and electronics section here where we discuss upgrades like this all of the time. Drop in and ask a few questions there.
