Question AU Mid range Vs High range Audio system

Hi all, I have a AUIII Rebel that I think has a mid-range audio system installed, I put a 8' subwoofer in it today but it's not working, the wiring for the subby is there, but I suspect that this stereo is only a mid-range edition and therefor wont have the programing and/or the capability to drive the subby, does anyone know if it's
1. Possible to reprogram the stereo to high range features
2. Get this stereo to run the subby I've installed if it's not possible to reprogram it
3. If the amplifier that was factory installed into the boot quarter panel for the mid-range audio system will run a subby.... and finally
4. If none of the above will work does anyone have a high range AU Factory stereo and amplifier that they would like to sell.
Thanx

the head unit is isnt the problem its the same for all models reguardless off the premium sound or not.

the amp is only avaliable is running a sub to, so there must have been one there previously

I'm thinking weather the amp has a RCA cable running to the port on the headunit. I'm not entirly sure, but if it came stock with no sub, perhaps they didnt have a RCA cable running.. as it would be running to nothing??

If you have a amp there should be two wires for the sub coming out of the amp.There is more info in audio and trim section.
