I tried searching for this but nothing came up. Has anyone tried replacing the rear factory subwoofer with a aftermarket subwoofer and adding an amp as well somewhere in the trunk? What would be some cons to this or would it not be possible? Im thinking about doing this. I want a subwoofer and an amp in the car but hate the idea of losing trunk space because I use the trunk space all the time.

 

you might need to reinforce the rear deck as well as get a sub that is a free air sub

 

you may want to look into these...

i had the non prem n put a 10 in sub in the rear deck w/ a amp, but it doesnt sound really good. so i took the 10 out and put 2 12s sounds a lot better and cleaner.

 

so nobody on here has had success with removing the factory sub and replacing it with an aftermarket in the rear deck?

 

Its not worth it because any free air sub that size that will fit there wont sound good. You will have better luck getting a box build to fit under the liner and have the sub face the opening

 

same thing hear i dont wana loose the trunk space either.i rather replace the rear sub on my bose and replace the door speakers...

 

I have a narrow profile box with a 10' kicker sub in it, and a pioneer amp right behind it. It takes up a bit of trunk space but not the amount I cannot live with. I wanted to go the free air route initially but the installer was able to dissuade me from going that route claiming it would not sound nearly as well.

 

The shop I go to had a good suggestion for running an aftermarket amp with the install subwoofer. Depending on budget you may want to look into a Audison amp (LRX 4 possibly) that is capable of running interior and sub woofer while also adding in a Bit Processor of ome sort for tuning the entire system, front and rear fill speakers as well as sub. They did this install in a 07 Coupe and it sounds very nice. I did consider running aftermarket sub as well, but for what I want it's going to eat some of the trunk space.
