Replace subwoofer in 97 Mach

[kyle_in_rure]

Hi all,

I need to replace the factory subwoofer in my 97 Expy. It has the Mach audio system with the factory amp and subwoofer setup. I've been searching online and people tend to suggest it's a difficult process. has anyone done this that can describe the process?

Also, any recommendations on an aftermarket sub that will fit in the hole? I don't need anything fancy, just one that isn't blown out like my current one....

Thanks

Any aftermarket 8" 4ohm sub will work as long as it's relatively low power handling due to the fact that the factory amp only puts out something like 35w rms iirc. The whole side panel has to come off and both rear passenger seat let's have to be disconnected. Really not too bad if you're decent at diy car work but it's a couple hour job

someone on here got the factory amp to put out 100w to the sub and says it sounds pretty good...not sure if the passenger seat will need to come out but the 3rd row definitely will

third row has to come out to replace it, the second row really only needs to be folded down. heres mine being pulled out.

Oops! Didn't mean the seats, the seat belts...

Yes to get that back panel off you have to unbolt the 2nd and 3rd row belts

When I pulled out my Mach amp and sub I just left the 2nd row seat belt alone and was able to swing the cover out enough to easily remove the sub box and amp. I don't have a third row though.

Does anyone have a guess on the cubic foot of the sub enclosure. I was thinking of putting a 10" sub in if there is enough cubic feet
