Installment of sub

[MuleDawg]

Ok, so what I have is the factory subwoofer (I ordered eBay) for my ‘14 Dodge Ram 1500 (non alpine system) no amp, and I’m wanting to install an aftermarket amp (already have). I bought the adapter that you plug in behind the radio and allows for an amp to be plugged & it also comes along with a blue remote wire. Here is my question ‍… the stock sub plugs into the stock wiring by means of the plastic clip (I had to dig under the rear passenger side, underneath the seat), but I get no sound. So I guess my 2nd question is, once I hook up the adapter behind the radio, run RCA jacks from this adapter to the amp & hook up my remote wire from the amp, will the signal then provide power to the sub?
Please if anyone has tackled this issue or knows what I’m talking about feel free to let me know. I love playing the blues (muddy water, BB king) and I don’t need much just enough.

I know this is an older post but if your Ram didn't come with the factory AMP then there will be no sound going to the factory sub wires. You will need a line out converter or use the high-level inputs on the BOSS amp to grab a signal from the radio. If you planned on using the factory sub you bought, you would need to hardware the outputs from the BOSS amp to the factory sub but I don't recall of the top of my head if that was a 3 voice coil sub or not. If it is, it will not work correctly with an aftermarket amp. You would need to replace it with aftermarket sub and to be blunt, BOSS amps are junk and will not even do close to their rated power.
