only drawback is good airflow across the heatsink.

i never said put a ****** box that was gonna be moving around.. or do a crappy wiring job.. the only reason i said a 12 is becuase a sealed 12 and a ported 10 are about the same airspace depending on the sub. Even a single 8 will sound ok IF its a HIGH rms 8.. but then you need a big box and some power.. so we still cant do it off the factory amp..

Check out the Earthquake stuff.. its.. not amazing.. but it is the best bet for a stock box stock amp sitch imo... its what all the bmw guys replace their under seat subs with on the Logic7 sound systems.

You can do a single amp under the seat and a single 12 in a truck box or a ported 10 in a discreet factory carpet wrapped box and not lose your stock look..

I think youre under the impression that im one of the dudes on here with 6 18s in the back but im not.. i only do really high end, really sema stock builds.. and in fact we are working with a company now to do 2 bad ass 8s.. in a stock like center console.. that will do 130db at 34hz and NO ONE will know its there.. but the prototype just got done and we wont be market ready for months..

Im not trying to talk you into going crazy man..just trying to get you the most sound and cleanest look for the dollar.

I understand that your trying to help and thats great, I like the help....but I'm not putting a box in the back unless it is like the MTX style and I can run my factory cover....I just don't think that is in my best interest. I mean, if I could just defeat the nasty sound the stock sub makes when i turn it up all the way then that would be fine with me.

BTW does anyone know how much watts the stock amp can supply?

 

[blueflamed03]

stock>Boss

 

[TWITCH101]

haha I was afraid of that.....I think the kicker shallow mount 8 might be in my future....I found one that is 2 ohms for a pretty good deal online and I think 2ohm is what is factory right?

In my '02 my stock sub was blown...replaced with an Infinity 8" 4-ohm woofer. Was a impulse buy, knowing now that the stock was a 2-ohm. But I have it wired to the factory amp and in the stock box behind the panel. Sounds just fine for me. Yet mind you, my days of PAK (punk ass kid) music listening are gone. I just like clear bass at all levels, nothing to set of car alarms. Fitment in the box was a little tight, but I flipped the foam surround on the sub to the back side so its between the subwoofer and the box thus sealing tight once I screwed the sub back down to the box.

So you would say it cleaned the sound up....thats really all I'm looking for right now....unless I could get a slammin deal on an mtx setup. A speaker was all I wanted to do and I thought it would clear up the sound when I have the bass all the way up.....keep in mind I have the stock cd-player and I really don't plan on pulling it out and replacing it.

 

[blueflamed03]

yes, the 2ohm would be perfect.

 

[smurphy80]

yes, my setup definetly cleaned up the bass. It was a tight fit but im extremely pleased with it. It being a 4ohm (the infinity) I believe it to be my reason for having very low bass at low volume levels (ie, when having a conversation with someone and the music down low) which is perfectly fine by me. But once turned up to normal listening level I get perfect(to me) bass. I keep tossing around the idea of adding a 2 ohm amp to my system, but honestly I can't say I'm not unhappy.
