To replace factory rear sub?

To replace factory rear sub?
What size is it, 8"? Could I simply change it out with another better 8" or fit a 10" in the same place without changing the rest of the sterio? Has anyone done this for better base and factory look? I may then get some tweeter pods at a later time.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks, at least I have the correct size now. They say http://www.illusionaudio.com/, though I can't find anything?

When I see this subject come up, I always think of Bose car audio being rated at 1 ohm. If someone where to swap out the factory Bose speakers and keep the factory head unit/amp, remember that 1 ohm is going to be less effiecient than 4 ohm speakers.
When Acura uses a 100 watt Bose amp for the sub woofer, it is rated at 1 ohm. In theory if you where to run it in 4 ohms it would only produce 25 watts.
I think maybe a good choice would be to try to use the lowest ohm speaker as possible. Maybe the Orion HCCA series speakers?

Unless your willing to have someone gut your trunk, put hydraulic lifts to support your trunk lid, you're not gonna get another sub in there. Look how freakin shallow the factory sub is. It not even as thick as a normal 6.5" midrange speaker.

It's not gonna happen...The torsion bars that support your trunk run underneath the sub. There is no room for an aftermarket sub.

You really need to stick your head in your truck and look at this sucker. Nothing aftermarket will fit there unless you get a torch and cut the crossmember thats behind the sub. Once you look at it, you'll know what everyone is talking about.

if you cut this sucker out, with the tension bars for the trunk still
work? I know they're fastened to the cross member, but don't
know if it has to be connected to work.

Thanks for all the feedback. Would be nice to upgrade, and still look stock. The stock system is not very good, and the bose in other cars like Infiniti is much better? Not sure I want to go all out with the audio system, but starting to look like I have to if I eant better sound.

I replaced the 9" stock with a 10" pioneer free air subwoofer with some minor modification to the rear deck sheet metal. The cross member was removed and the torsion bars were mounted to the metal speaker cage using the existing gray plastic clip. Trunk still opens and closes normally.
Sub is currently hooked up to the OEM amp, but will soon be upgraded. Sound is much improved, system has a deeper truer bass.

Ofcourse, you'd get this. Got any pics?
