No they don't have stock subs. You prob have the Mach460 system which does bump. Nothing like a sub though. You can only hook up a subwoofer to the factory deck if you get a JL clean sweep or similiar. They are almost as much as a new deck

you can get a hook up at any car audio shop that will run from your stock radio to your amp for cheap like under 50 cheap. i think mine was 30. you can deff put subs in the car tho. i had to JL Audio 12" W6v2s in mine, it was a 95, and now i have them in the 01 Cobra but it can be done, i have done it lol

This is definately not the right way to do things and I would never do this to my car! Those speakers run at 2 or 3ohms. Everytime you tap into those wires to add an additional speaker, you drop the ohms in half and those factory speakers are not meant to handle a 1.5ohm or lower load! You will eventually blow them! I guarantee it. Also, the only way to add 2 12's is to power them with an amp. The back feed of an amp will be hazadous to those factory speakers as well, especially when they are hooked up to amps themselves. I have done many many set-ups and have had training. Get the clean sweep!!!
