Stock Pioneer Sub replacement
I'm not gonna do this anytime soon but if or when my stock sub blows i was thinking how much i like the stock setup. What kind of Pioneer sub would be a direct replacement to fit in the stock location that would be an upgrade? Can it be done on the stock amp or would I need to piggyback an aftermarket amp?

I found that most of the pioneer subs that are sold in the stores were a little to deep to work in the stock box. I went with an infinity powered by a kenwood amp because the stock amp just isn't strong enough.

I found this thing, dont have any idea how it would work though. I know you would need a beefier amp for it

I also wonder how big the stock box is, if it could even accommodate anything else than what comes from the factory (or if it would even be worth it to reuse that box)

ya, it'll be tough to blow the sub with the stock amp in there. if anything, you might have the spyder seperate on you from over excursion. An upgrade would be building your own enclosure in the corner. the enclosure for that pioneer sub is already to small, and any greater of a sub will under perfom in that small lil plastic box.

I agree... but for both sides. I think it would be a unique look to have a sub on either side of the trunk. I tried to find such a thing but just couldn't

If you want more thump from your sub than you should add a second amp that will power only your sub. You may not even need to change your stalk sub then. Also the advantage of adding a second amp to power only your sub is if you have an after market deck with a sub controller, you can connect your sub to this.

If someone uses this sub, I seriously want to know how it turns out. I would definitely do this if it sounded good
....Hell I may have to guinea pig this if money falls right over the next couple of months

I heard that pioneer subs arent that great.The guy at the stereo shop by me recommende the jl 10w1v2.The enclosure specs are dead on with our boxes,and there pretty shallow too.In my oppinion,you cant go wrong with jl.Plenty of my friends have them in there cars and they slam.

Can someone post some more information if you have done this replacement?
What sub? model? Pics?
Where did you get your input for the replacement amp? did you just take the speaker lines for the rear sub and amplify it?
I would like to put a 400w mono amp with an infinity 10" sub
