I recently installed a cd\mp3 pioneer deck in my van 50watts x 4. Im only using two channel at the moment. I wanted yo install a low waty 8"sub to the other two channels but im not sure if the other two channels are brigable like some amplifier can.if the channels are brigable how much would the ohms come down to and if its possible which 8"sub you recommend. The deck is 4ohms each channel
 
Yeah, don't do that. haha. Do it right, get an amp, with a low pass filter so your subs aren't playing all frequencies just like your speakers. Or get a head unit with 3 outputs (front & rear speakers, and sub)
 
Do not hook up the woofer to the deck! You will ruin the deck and it won't make your subwoofer even move anyways, just buy a cheap amp from like walmart and hook it up the right way
 
Depending on the model of deck you have, Pioneer did and I believe still does make their rear channels bridgeable for a sub. It's only about 50 watts ... but that may be plenty for what you're doing. Read your manual and see if that's an option for the deck you have.
