Yea it's possible. I have a sub in mine with the original deck. The only special part they needed was a line ouput converter which converts regular speaker wires to rca wires.

Does the converter change sound quality? How much is it and where do u get it?

The sound quality is allright, but because you are using the rear speaker output the amp doesnt get the optimal signal. If your amp has a good crossover, that would make a huge difference. I originally had my subs ran through a line level converter and I was satifsfied with the sound quality. I didnt realize how poor it really was until i swaped out my head unit. Now the speaker clarity and base resoponce is amazing, way better than the stock bose
