With a stock headunit and amp setup though?? Isn't that like buying a HD tv and playing VHS tapes on it?

i replaced my stock sub for the 8" jl sub... i also installed an amp to power it... i just need to sound proof my trunck. it sounds better than stock... cheap easy mod for sound.

I replaced mine with 2 JL Audio 10' W6's with a Alpine 500w to each sub. BIG difference.

im just using a 200w fosgate amp... its small enough to be mounted behind the seats in the trunk... a little to much power i had to turn the gain down alot. but atleast i know i more power if i need it.

Hey, did you have to run the power wire from the battery to the amp, and then do the ground wire? kind of a noob question, but does our car have an amp in the back for the speakers?

The Bose system has a small amp in the trunk.

If you're adding an aftermarket amp, you must run new power wire for the aftermarket amp to the battery. The power wire for the Bose amp won't work in that application.

Can you run that as a "Free-Air" sub?

If so, I'd def get one...I have a 15" T1 in the trunk, but having that 8" JL in-cabin would be a nice add on. I just might do it since I have an extra Fosgate amp lying around.

*EDIT* I just noticed after posting the free air resonance is 34Hz...I am about to order it now!
