Is a 1998 Nissan altima's stereo head unit sub woofer compatible?

any radio can have a sub you just need a amp to power it.


Why won't your sub play?

You could have an amp that has insufficient watts so take it to a place like bestbuy to see if your amp or sub has blown. If its your amp you just have to get a new one but if it's your sub then you have to get a new sub it is easier to replace an amp but both are pricey


Can you hook both a subwoofer and speakers to 1 amp If so do I need to buy a amp that's even more powerful Then what the sub requires?

You can connect a sub and speakers to one amp, depending on how many channels your amp has. A 4 channel amp will be able to run one (or two) subs using two channels (one bridged* sub or two subs) and two speakers running one channel each. A 2 channel amp will run 2 speakers or one bridged sub. A 6 channel amp will run one bridged sub (or two subs), 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers. In my opinion, you will get the most performance, depending on which amps you use, by using a monoblock amp for your sub and an amp with enough channels to run all of your speakers. # Bridged = putting together the power of two channels to run one sub or speaker. Note: not all amps are bridgeable.

For sub woofers do you need a mono amp or a 2 channel amp?

Depends if you are building heavy bass system with quite a few subs then a mono amp would be suggested but if it is just a single sub just for a standard bass upgrade then a 2 channel amp would be fine you can still use a mono amp on one sub just remember to take into perspective the RMS rating and the Impedance on both the Subs and the Amp
