will my sub bass get cut with stock monsoon stereo

I've noticed that with the stock monsoon the bass gets cut or diminishes with higher volume. I'm guessing so as not to blow the speakers or something, anyway if I hook up my sub to the stereo will this also hapen to the sub? I assume it would have to since I'd have to use the same speaker wire that cuts all the bass to begin with. I really wanted to keep the stock stereo so I could keep the stock CD changer, but the more I learn about the monsoon, the more i want to just throw in my Alpine. Is there any way to keep the bass from getting cut?

Tap the wires BEFORE the Monsoon amp or get a PAC OEM-1 to do it for you. I kept the Monsoon HU and changer and replaced everthing else.

Oh are you saying its the amp that cuts the bass? I thought it was the headunit that cuts it. I am plannin on ripping that thing out and placing my good amp in its place, so then I guess I wouldn't have a problem if i did it this way?

Correct, it's the Monsoon amp that has the speakers x-over...the HU is just a standard 4 channel GM HU.
