Using an aftermarket radio on the factory premium speakers with DSP AMP disconnected sounds great by itself, throw in a sub to get that little boom boom is a bonus!
The problem with this setup is that you have to make sure the headunit can handle the ohm requirements of the speakers. Otherwise you can damage both the speakers and the head unit. But, yes, this is an option.
