You will need a amp. And a hi/low converter to run a amp with sub on the stock radio.

A hi/low converter, maybe a cap, whole wiring kit. I think there is a section on the site. Idk. And possible more items if I'm not mistaken

You can do it as long as you use a passive coil for frequency control. A subwoofer isnt meant to produce high frequency sounds, without the passive coil to filter the higher frequencies, you could fry the subwoofer coil.

You can also fry the stock radio. This depends on the ohm rating of the subwoofer, and how you wired it into the stock speaker (series or parallel).

If you had two subs of proper ohm rating, passive coils, and wired them correctly to the stock speakers (one sub wired to each rear speaker)... it could function properly as a two way setup. You would then be limited by the power output of the stock radio. (you can actually damage a speaker/sub coil with too little power by distortion of the signal... but that is another discussion)

The amp would be your best bet for proper use and life expectancy of your equipment.
