Adding subs to factory stereo setup

I'm just wondering how good my enclosure with 2 JL Audio subs and amplifier would sound hooked up to the factory stereo system. Anybody have some subs hooked up to their OEM stereo setup?

you will more than likely fry your rca high level convertor. it will melt. it is not made to handle amplified single coming into it. I am speaking from first hand experience
