I have seen to post where the stock rear sub was replaced by a kicker sub, but I was wondering if anyone has done this recently. The sub used in the thread is sort of hard to find and I am having a hard time find a free air sub that is also shallow mount. If anyone can help, that would be great. I am going to make this my summer project.

Thanks ahead of time.

 

I'm getting mine installed soon, whenever PenancE has time to help me with the install...

 

let us know how this sub compares to the stock one....

 

as far as i know asking around all the car stereo places free air subs are not made anymore...

and have not been for many years...

i found some on CL and ebay used.... debating on getting one still let us know how yours compares to the stock one when your done

 

Yea man, let us know how it sounds over stock. If its not that much better I will just go with one 12. But that factory look is what I am really going after.

 

I have one and have been running for years.
It sounds alot better than stock but it won't hit as hard as a sealed or ported box. Since I have my son sits at the back most of the time, I don't really need a sub that hits hard.
The upgrade definately saves a lot of trunk space and weight (beside the custom enclosure) compare to putting another sub box.

As far a variety, there are a few more shalow free-air subs out there. Whether the design would fit the stock position, you would need to some research. I believe Blaupunkt (spelling) just came out with a new version of shallow sub. The web site does not have enough detail of the specification yet but you could check it out.

Cheers !!!

 

Quick question: I heard from one guy in another thread that it's possible to set up a 10" in the back with the stock stereo still and the computer untainted with the steering wheel buttons still working. Does anyone else know if this is possible to do?
