Aftermarket sub in stock sub enclosure
Hey guys I have recently accepted a new job that requires a lot of travelin on my part and i need the full space of my trunk back. I want to put the stock 10 inch enclosure back in there and put either a kicker cvt or rockford fosgate p3 in there. I can get them both for about the same price through my sponsor. I have a 1000 watt 2 channel performance technique amp and a performance technique power cap. Which would be the better sub to go with?

I didn't find it very hard,
pull the box,
pull the stock sub out,
seal up the whole in the back,
pull out the wire,
run a new wire,
and drop in the P3.
(I might have had to trim a little of the opening in the stock box, but not much)
and put back in the trunk,
connect to new amp and your good to go.
Same RMS, and the P3 shallow comes as Dual VC 2 and 4 ohm versoins. (easier to match a amp) Personanly I like the RF subs better then the Pioneer speakers. But take a listen for yourself.

thats terrible...I search up all the info I can find on something, and then decide if I want to get it, and expect to keep it for a long time. I make sure my components talk well with eachother and Won't blow up the other one. and if they do, I ussually upgrade. (and if it's DOA then I will send back, but thats almost never anymore)

lol its been so bad at the shop because people come in and say i dont want it loud. mind you with all custom boxes, real awg wire, and plenty of good cheap amp power (refurb fosgate 300w for 120, fosgate 1000w for 250) its hard not to be loud yet people still just crank it to the point they completely destroy anything and everything
