Default Is This Possible?

I have two punch subwoofers and the mach 460 stereo. Right now i cant afford a good amp to drive them, and i was wondering if it was possible to use the amps from the MACH to drive the subs?!.

Nope, wont be a good idea. If you splice into them your gonna drop the ohm load the amp see's and your gonna fry the amp. If you wire them in series then your gonna get half the power output of the amp divided by two for each speaker, meaning not enough power to the subs for them to play right and your other speakers won't play as well either.

Get another amp just for the subs. You'll also need a line out converter to get signal to your new amp from your head unit.
