installing, or changing radios I can ask you guys right? In return if you want to know anything about hair, ask me!!!!

Ok so here is my question.......I want to change the speakers and the get a bigger sub BUT I like the radio (really, I do ). Do I have to change the radio and add an amp? I only want to go to a 10 inch sub.

I just swapped out all of my speakers including the tweeters. I kept the stock 6 disc and amp. First thing I would need to know is If you don't mind having a seperate box in your hatch area. There is no way you are going to fit a 10" in the factory box. This is the factory box with an 8" in it. I had to put a spacer ring on to make a deeper sub fit.

Ok well let me tell you what I want then you tell me what I should do.

I want my sound to be louder, I want a "little" boom in it, not much, just a little. And I want to keep my radio, so you tell me what I should do...

Do I need to go to a 10 inch for what I want? Or should I just get better speakers and if so what kind do you like......(just your thought, I know)...

captain howdy

Just replacing all of the speaker improved the sound quite a bit. If you put a better sub in you'll get a lot more punch. This weekend I am going to pull my box out again because I need to put on my grille that will be here on Friday. Plus I want to play around with some polyfill to see if I can find the right amount to make it hit harder than it is.

better meaning size or name brand????

captain howdy

Better sub in terms of quatity. This is your factory sub:




Its paper thin, made out of junk paper, not very deep, and the magnet is small.

I put in an Audiobahn AW831SE. A 8" Natural Sound Special Edition. I didn't know much about Audiobahn at first but after going to my local Audiobahn dealer and checking out some of there stuff I was impressed and decided to go all Audiobahn. I had to have them order my sub because the didn't have on in stock but I had to wait like less than a week. I don't have any shots of the sub alone but of course it is the big one at the top:


Those are the rest of my speakers also. I pulled the tweeters off of the front set and surface mouted them where the factory tweeter were:


SoCal just put in a dual 10" Audiobahn box in his ride. But chosing a brand is up to you. Trust me it sounds 1000% better. You can't even tell it is the factory system anymore. It is now a lot louder sounding, cleaner, and deeper. If you really want to check some snow out you are welcome to stop by and listen.
