| | | Single Sub, Stock Location Did a search and really couldn't find a solid answer.
I am wanting to swap out my stock sub for an upgraded in the stock location (low end, just want a little more bump) one.
Can anyone tell me
1. what subs will fit (like to spend 100-150).
2. I was told I needed an amp, but how do I wire it in?
Also If you suggest a sub, suggest an amp, not sure how many watts I need etc.
Thank you very much in advance. |

| | | Re: Single Sub, Stock Location Kicker makes a 10" sub that will fit in the factory sub location.
Depending on what you go with the 2ohm or 4 ohm makes for what your amp would need to be. 300 watts RMS I think is what the 2 ohm will run..
Crutchfield has them....but someone posted the 4 ohm sub from somewhere and it was $50.
You have to either get an aftermarket head unit, or a line output converter, or a Cleansweep system to run your amp off of.
Search stock sub and see what comes up..there's seriously like 1,000 topics on this one |
