if you are buying one from feebay like jensen/soundstorm/whatever the deal of the week is, and it lacks the built in or onboard adjustments for frequency then NO!

i would suggest upgrading the headunit to something with 3 preouts. unless your not gonna get a sub, unless you want to install a two line out. i'm not sure what direction your heading with your stereo system.
i would suggest going with a nice 2channel for the front and running the back as rear fill and have them run off the stereo power.
