Subwoofer Replacement Ideas?

Like i said, the volume will be too low from that kicker speaker. You have to find a way to increase ohms, as you know there is no way to control oem amp without messing up ur mid and high speakers. You may want to buy a small amp to push it.

if you want to buy a good speaker from a 1947 founded italian professional audio manufacturer you could buy this one http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=370455535115 its cheap and its a honest speaker with all thiele-small parameters. i am sure they have a US distribution. note the pdf in this auction for data.

also you can't just "drop" a sub in... it needs to be mounted and sealed which isn't that easy... building a small MDF box for the trunk is MUCH easier... When I bought mine some guy had dropped a 4 ohm Boston acoustics sub into the hole and didn't even mount it to the deck let alone seal the mounting... what a joke. I run a 12" Image dynamics IDQ v2 now... it only takes 175w to make it romp...

"p.hase" theory is also correct but good luck finding a 8" free air dual voice coil sub

According to lexls.com (http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/audio/subwoofer.html) the Kicker Comp 03C84 should work. You can buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002DFK3C/...SIN=B0002DFK3C and it cost $53
Another option is DLSOA8 (http://www.dls.se/en/car/prod.html?produkt=en_120) but then you have to change out your original sub amplifier to one that have the power to drive the subwoofer.
The subwoofer should be made for open air, free air or infinite baffle (same thing just different names), and if you want to maintain your original sub amplifier it should have a impedance on 2 Ohm and have a RMS value around 50W. And finding a subwoofer like that is really hard.

Im considering running this in my LS as I want to keep trunk space. Ive already lost one corner to the tank and compressor for my air suspension. Plus im having a kid soon so ill really need the space. The specs of this driver will work well in an IB configuration.

Pole Position
I Used a Pioneer TS SW841D Shallow Sub Following http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/audio/subwoofer.html And it Sounds Incredible!!
I Didn't think i could get that sound with a Stock Amp!!
