I know the factory sub is a dual voice coil. Now im wondering if it is a dual 4 or 2 ohm. The reason im asking is that I have a Dual 2 ohm sub and Im wanting too hook it up. Any advice????

 

its dual 2.... what sub do you have?

 

i have a dual 2 ohm so i could just wire it up to my speaker and be just fine with it?

 

Yup i had my factory sub out lastnight while cleaning. there is a sticker on the back that says 2x2ohms

 

Aight that sounds good. How did you get it out? I tried just the other day by pulling off the grille and when I tried getting the sub itself out it just kept on popping right back in the enclosure. I stopped messing with it because I didnt want to break nothing. LOL

 

There are 4 or 5 10 mm nuts that hold the enclosure in place.Once you remove them,the box will come out.Once you get the box out,theres a screw in the back of it that goes through the speaker magnet to hold it in place.Once you remove that screw in the back and the screws that hold on the grill,the speaker will come right out.

 

how much does that sucker weigh?
im considering adding it to my "weight reduction" video, but i didnt have a deep socket to get those bolts out.

 

It dont weigh that much.If your not into bassy music,than take it out.I like music with alot of bass,so i wouldnt remove it.I replaced the sub with a jl sub,and it pounds.Its perfect for me,and i still have all my trunk space.

 

I opened a vent hole in my sub box and WOW did it make a world of difference! The factory sub can breath now and it hits much better.

 

Where on the box did you make this hole?

 

 

You opened a vent hole? I agree I would like to see pics of this vent hole. If it really makes that much more of a difference.

Share Jack, share

 

Oh, Jack you tease! Come on man, share with all your good friends that have given you rep...

 

the factory sub enclosure is supposedly tuned precisely for that sub. i would think that porting it would make it sound like ****. please do share this mod with us

 

is there any way of making the stock sub louder??? or can i just buy a new 10" sub??? i have a memphis 10" right now but it prob wont fit in the box right??? can you adjust any gains in the stock amp??? let me know thanks b/c the stock radio seems to get to a point and dont get louder than it should prob so stock dont blow...

 

Whick JL did you replace it with? Did you have to make any adjustments to the enclosure?

 

I replaced it with a 10w1v2.Its not a direct fit.I had to put an mdf ring on the box because the sub was like an inch too deep.Stuffed it with some poly fill,and that was it.

 

i was thinking about going with a different sub, any ideas on how to sand down that pioneer badge so it dont look like crap?

 

Thanks...

 

anyone know the airspace on the box, or the RMS of the factory amp? air space matters when choosing an aftermarket speaker, and make sure to keep the vent on the sub clear or you will burn it up.

 

Sorry guys I was at work, I'll post some up later today after I get some sleep and some food in me.

 

Hey, ok so... did you just keep everything else stock tho??? like did you add a different amp or deck or no??? b/c it seems like that stock pioneer should get louder but maybe not... is there any gain controls or anything on the stock amp??? so your saying you just took out pioneer amp and put the jl in w/ a little modifcation and it sounds much better? or a little better???

 

factory amps dont have any controls

 

Sure they do....its the volume knob on the radio. jk man.

 

so where are the pics, jackalope? im anxiously awaiting info on this free mod
