Got the factory '02 subwoofer box. Now just trying to decide on an 8" sub.

I went to Best Buy to listen to some subs as a comparison but they don't have any subs hooked up any more. I remember years back you could go there and test different subs they had or speakers and head units. Now they just have a few speakers and head units. Anyone know where you can go listen to subs before buying?

@bluebear15 I put a shallow kicker 8" in mine. Has some good thump and fits fantastic, no modifications needed.

Does it hit good on the lows?

I used to have two 12" Infinity 1200W subs but want to have more space in the back. I know an 8" isn't going to compare to two 12's but wanted something that still hits the lows good.

@bluebear15 I was doing good to figure out what amp i needed to order lol. I am not sure I even have it set correctly but there is definitely a difference compared to just the stock amp. It rattles things pretty good.

Does anyone have a picture of the location of the sub in the center console area? Or have an idea on how to get to it. I have a 2002 escalde that had no sub in the rear I Believe it has it in the center Console but it is not working don't hear it.

You sure? Behind the panel is a box with a sub inside the enclosure so it cannot be seen.
(Not a sub but a "bass box")

Ok I see so the stock subwoofer cannot be seen through the screen it's higher than the hole in the rear?

For those of you looking for a shallow sub to put in the stock box. Look at the skar VD-8. It's a little beast for a shallow sub.

Just under 4" deep and 400 rms.
I put one in a 4door jeep wrangler on a pbx300.1 and it does alot better than I thought. You can still hear it pretty good even with the top off.
