Installing subwoofer and amp

[smileitzvincent]

I just purchased a new subwoofer and 1000watt rms mono amp and wanted to hook it up to my 2006 Hummer H3 with the monsoon system package. However, after searching and reading through the old posts, I became confused as to whether or not all the speakers in the car are powered by the amp that came with the monsoon package in the back left panel of the trunk.

What should I do to install my new subwoofer and amp? Is it ok if I unplug the amp, or would unplugging it turn off all my door panel speakers and tweeters?

If unplugging the amp does turn off the speakers, should I just run my new subwoofer amp wire directly to the monsoon headunit? And could I just unplug the monsoon subwoofer from the amp?

Thanks in advance for your help!


BTW my sub and amp are as follow:
Image Dynamics iDMAX 12" Subwoofer
MTX Thunder Elite 1501D Mono Amp

Again, thanks alot!
