Answer
Hi Bob,

I think your best option is to add a separate amplifier/subwoofer combo, instead of trying to work within the confines of the factory system.  One possibility is Infinity's Basslink; this is a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, designed especially for use with factory audio systems.  I've used this several times with excellent results; it doesn't take up much space (compared to a typical subwoofer box) and is relatively easy to install.

Hope this helps!
