I don't have a factory sub in mine, but I can recommend an 8" that you'll love.

Most guys don't think about using "home" subs in a vehicle, but I've been building home speakers for a while and these things are bad ass. I've got two waiting to go into my truck when I replace the HU.

Don't know about the stock enclosure, but they only need about .5 cu ft sealed and about 150 watts to produce bass you normally get out of a 10" or ****** 12" lol. Read the reviews on the site, there's a lot of good info from those guys.

just about any sub will fit in there...personal preference really...i'm a 12" type of guy so i guess any reperable brand will be good

JL Audio makes a really good 8" sub....Ive used them before in my Sprinter Trueno to save weight and still have some kind of a bass presence...just dont think you can bump like a 10" or 12"....

 

[panda24619]

or a 15 or 18. but what music do you listen too? that will help us out more.

just want an upgrade over the OEM sub/amp now that my door speakers are much improved..not looking to be that annoying tool at a stop light or drive thru w/ bass rattling shit

 

[tsingson]

the JL 8" would work great as a drop in replacement

thats what i did when i bought my door speakers..checked them all out on their website,spoke to their sales rep,& then bought the speakers new on ebay for bout $60 cheaper

 

[panda24619]

dont do cruthfield. i had bad customer service with them. called them saying that i found it cheaper on another site, they said too bad this is their price i said okay. never bought what it was i was looking at, i think a head unit, but still. and besides sonicelectronix is a lot cheaper too. haha

 

[GAINMOB]

i havent had anything less than SUPERB service...thats where i normally buy from because of the LIFETIME support that they give if you buy from them...if i want to put the HU from my truck into another vic...i just call them and they'll tell me how to and/or send the info to me as long as its the equipment i purchased...normally they dont check when i tell them i'm swapping it to another vic...

outstanding...

I dont like to deal with online sites really....I always deal with Imagine Audio in South Jersey even with me living in NC....They do all the cars for the Phillies and Eagles players and I'm cool with the owner and employees there....May not be internet pricing but I never pay full price either.....

 

[panda24619]

thats true. if you find a place that you really like then just stay there. google them first. and ask friends. but NEVER EVER go to best buy! haha
