Dual voice coils.. this is why I say break the amp into a 4 channel at the input side instead of output and bypass the amp.
If you are using an adapter to the oem stereo plug.. you can just pull a couple more wire leads from there to the amp for front - rear control and frequency adjustments if new HU is capable. If your HU has subwoofer outputs something like this will add the extra kick (link).. This setup isn't going to win you a trophy.. but you'll enjoy it more than stock. I would advise going this route.. with added amp and sub of your choice before spending more to possibly be dissapointed in the end. Basically break out the New HU - amp to 4 channels..no cost.. add the subwoofer and then spend away if you don't like it.

This rides in my "trunk"..easy removal as required.. and adds plenty of bass thump.
