The head unit will drive four speakers, 2 front ,2 rear.
Best way to add two more speakers and a sub is to get a 4 channel amp. Hook it up to the RCA jacks from your head unit. Bridge two channels of the amp to drive your sub, and use the other two channels of the amp to drive the extra two speakers. Just make sure whatever amp you get it's bridgeable.

I have a pioneer head unit with 4 speakers, can I add a amp and sub just for the sub?

What is the watts on the head unit and if its got 50 x 4 channels that should be enough to run the front dash and door speakers if not then a 4 Channel amp while do the trick but if the head unit has the 50 x 4 channels witch is 200 watts and it does fine running the dash and door speakers all you need is the amp to run your subs and make sure you tune it well cause that makes all the difference also...

How do I hook up a sub woofer & speakers to my car stereo?

If you are replacing the existing door/deck speakers with replacements of the same size and not adding an amplifier, you will be able to use the existing wiring, making note of the positive and negative notation.
Subwoofers, on the other hand, require an amp. There are subs that have an integrated amp in the enclosure, otherwise you will need to buy a separate amp. Connecting the amp to your existing system will highly depend on what outputs your head unit (aka stereo) has. If it has pre-amp outputs, those can be run straight to sub amp. If there are not pre-amp outputs, you may have to buy a "high level" adapter that connects to the same head unit outputs as your speakers.

Why do my subwoofers not work when connected to an amplifier that is powered?

The bus connection is actually not an RCA looks very, similar i think if you look at it it will say IN. as far as i remember its an input for like a CD changer. Run a Y splitter on one of the other RCA out put, split the signal and run one to your bass amp. it does not affect the voltage in the RCA signal. i think your amp is trying to send a signal instead of receiving one.

Hi, you can split the preamp RCAs with Ys available everywhere. The amp input impedance shouldn't cause much load on the head unit. Let us know if you have more questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

How to wire sreaker system

this is the same as a home speaker system, if installing an amp and sub you need to make sure you have a pre-out on your cd/tape/radio head unit. this will look like a red and white hole usally with l and r on it,
you will need to run a male phono to phono lead from the head unit to the amp, You will also need to run a fused live 12v from your battery to the amp live input (red wire) and a remote (usally blue) from your head unit to the amp (make sure you run the live ond remote on opisite sides of the car to the phonos as they can interfere with each other).
you also need to run an earth/ground to your amp, this must not be to long, i normaly just un srew a screw in the boot and connect it to that.
once this is done you can wire up your sub to the amp making sure to match - to - and + to plus.
hope this helps
