any chance they make something like that for an 8" opening to 10" baffle?

 

The subwoofer in the GS is 8" or 10"...I've searched all over for that!! I'm such a newb sometimes

 

OEM subwoofer is 10"

 

a really good application for a free air sub in the GS i a Boston G110, fits very nice in the opening and sounds great off of a small wattage amp. the Boston also has a nice rubber seal around the mounting holes in the sub, so no need to seal for good sound

Recommended Enclosure
0.5ft ³ (14.2 L) volume sealed
For a G110.

This is not an infinite baffle sub.

I would recommend listening between this SUB or any infinite baffle sub against a sealed or ported box.

Sealed is tighter bass.

 

HAS ANyone done this but with the factory amplifier...???

just an easy replacement and keep the same amp...

HAS anyone done it with the kicker C10 and factory amp...
thankz

The factory amp does not have enough power to push most aftermarket subwoofers. Keep in mind that the OEM subwoofer was built for sensitivity to run off of the OEM power. Most aftermarket subwoofers require more power.

You can power the Kicker C10 with the OEM amp, but you will probably not be very happy with the output. In fact, the output might even be less.

 

kooo...thankz GSteg

you know what...ill be doing this really soon,, ill be posting up pictures of it..too..im going to be running a small amp for it...but might as well put a better woofer...will see...
check soon for some pics....thankz

Great idea Engin Ear. However, this all assumes one has removed the stock 2GS IB subwoofer.

I assume there is no easier way around removing the stock top mounted IB subwoofer accept to go through the whole 'removing the back seat to access the packaging shelf' routine described elsewhere...?

sick DIY! Good stuff

 

It's the only way. It's really not that hard though.

 

wow way to resurrect a thread from 2007 that was resurrected over a year ago in 2008. LOL!

 

A little off topic but, I just replaced my LS400 8" factory sub with a 8" Kicker C8 something...I kept the factory amp but even with low rms (30-100 watts) the kicker is very underpowered. So now I got a kicker amp to match with it to install, which I wish I had done at first

 

time to resurrect it again lol

I seached, but may have overlooked, so my apologies in advance for asking if this is already answered somewhere.

What is OEM subwoofer wattage?
What is OEM non ML stereo wattage sent to sub? (also curious about other channels power as well) The reason I ask this is I have a high level to low level converter so i can use stock stereo with an amp.... but it can only handle 50 watts.


really hate to ask a total newb question, but its been a few years since i built a sub box.... what is MDF board? I saw what it looks like, but if I go to Home Depot or Lowes, can i just ask for MDF board? or does it go by another name?

Other than the Kicker C10.... are there any other recommendations for a good sub, that is competitively priced? The Kicker C10 can still be bought for around $45-60 online.


Thanks for the help. and Sorry again for any duplication of questions
