Answer 1

It will support them, assuming you've got open channels... however I would suggest against it as your subs will be vastly underpowered and may start clipping... If you have the money I would definitely suggest getting an amp, as you will probably end up wanting one in the long run.

Answer 2

yes and no

yes, it does have the sub RCA output and you can control it from the radio

no, there are not any radios that have the necessary wattage to push subs.

When the volume is turned up and the amp (radio) doesn't have enough power, the signal becomes distorted, or "clipped." This distorted signal can cause parts of the speaker to overheat, warp and melt. Not good!

Answer 3

You mean to power subwoofers?  No.

Sub control?  If there is a sub pre-out, then yes you can control your sub.  The headunit can't power subs.  Besides, how would you wire a sub to a headunit?  Speaker wire?  RCAs?  You can't.

You have to get a amp. Even the pre-amplified subs come with a built in amplifier.  You subs demands 50 times more wattage than your headunit can give off.
