Hey so I'm going to be replacing my stock ML sub a kicker 8inch shollow mount sub. Is their anything I should look out for?? And also I herd to get the back seat bottom cushion off just pull up on it till you can slide it out is this true?

 

Honestly man, I wouldnt suggest this. It's barely going to sound any different if at all. And I dont know if you'll even be able to fit it. I took the stock sub out and it was a waste of time by design. If you want a little more bass, just get a 1 10" or 12" sub and hook it up the right way.

 

^ +1. Many have tried to find a replacement for the stock free air sub, and to my knowledge all have failed. Just get a box in the trunk or a 4080 enclosure with a 12w6 for a more stealth look.

 

yea i second that, i just got a 12inch Hertz sub and cant be happier, plus i did a stealthy install and u cant see it, only the amp is visible and i still have usuable trunk space

 

I use a JL Audio 12W6V2 in a factory box and it only takes up the center narrow area in the trunk. I used a JL Audio 500/1 to power it and it hits Hella hard!

 

Is their a certin way to wire the amp or can you brindge it???

 

unfortunately you cant get a 'new' 4080 anymore...

 

^ Yeah, it's a real shame. I guess the mold was no longer good.

 

Not sure about bridging....Stereo shop did all the work.

 

Do you know were I can get a stealth pod for the corner of the trunk???

 

^ Post a WTB for the 4080 enclosure in the classifieds, or contact 4080 directly and beg.

 

What's 4080

 

^ A stealth pod for the corner of the trunk.

Well I've got this pioneer shallow sub mounted in my stock location and tbh it works well enough for me and it did what I expected it to do. Gives it that extra kick and doesnt consume any of my valuable trunk space up. My trunk has been sound dampened though, reguardless it works well for my taste.

 

^ Interesting. Was it a direct replacement or did you have to shave a bit?
