Retrofit console subwoofer box?

[Rayyy]

Does anyone know if it would be possible to retrofit a console subwoofer box from a 2003-2006 into a 2000-2002?

This would be going into a non-Bose 2001 Yukon XL (with 8” woofer in the LR panel).

Both woofers and all door speakers would be upgraded, along new amp/s.

Can I just bolt in the console subwoofer box under my 01 console and wire in a new subwoofer?

Or would I need the entire 03-06 console?

Hmm sounds like nobody has attempted this?

Would it even be worth it?

Are there any aftermarket options for 6.5” subwoofers which would be shallow enough to fit the stock console box??

The console isn't large enough (I don't think) to put the subwoofer in. I feel like the 03+ consoles are a little wider at the bottom. I added one to my 2001 Denali console. But that console was a totally different shape than the non-Denali console. You could swap in a newer console and wire it up.

Ahh okay good to hear that it would be feasible with a Denali console.

Did you use the original subwoofer or did you upgrade to an aftermarket woofer?

Original

You’d be better off finding a stock rear sub enclosure that holds an 8” and has more volume.

My Yukon XL already has a rear 8” woofer. I just wanted a little more punch up front.

I’ve been looking at powered woofers, and the Rockville SS8P looks like it will fit under the cup holder in the center console (just some very minor dremelling).

I’ll post photos when it is all done.

You won’t like it. I had one and it was more like mid bass, not like a regular sub. There’s no room in those small enclosures for any kind of output plus the built in amp is small. Just a heads up. I sold mine within a couple weeks.

Wow thanks for the heads up. What other powered sub is less than 10” wide?
