i recently change my stock deck and i want more bass out of the stock sub, is there anyway i can add an amp to that sub and make more power producing it?? or is there an amp already that was in the stock sub? don't get me wrong it still sounds good but i want a lil bit more bump to it. I know in the 05 equinox they came as an extra with a amp wired to their stock 8 inch sub so im wondering if i can do the same to the 10 inch pioneer that we have in the ss/sc.

 

factory amp powers it pretty well and your very close to being maxed out with it. I would recommend replacing both the sub and getting a new amp

 

you can more base by putting in 2 12's... that what i have... sounds great

 

check the how to section. joeworkstoohard did it with his...

 

so there is an amp for that sub? thanks..im going to check now and i would do 1 15" but i dont want to slow the car down..haha..

 

ive been looking and can't find it..

 

amp is under the dash (steering column)

 

heres another question though..whats the best way to get the lightest weight possible with subs but still have it look good..my big issue is i don't want it over like 35 lbs but i think thats almost not possible

 

8" re audio in a ported box with a 175 rms amp

 

what is the rms, power, ohms for the stock amp that's in the glove box? and can anyone post a link to the how to since i can't seem to find it...pls & thanks..

 

whoops i ment under the dash not glove box... under the steering column its a grey box the size of a vhs tape and there are no posted rms numbers for it. stock speakers are 2ohm and sub is a dvc 2 ohm.... the tweets use 2 channels the 6.5s use 2 channels and the sub and 6X9s share the last 2 channels. How its crossed over all all that jazz beats me

 

does anyone have any pics or anything of it? b/c im gettin you guys sayin that there is an amp and then fellow cobalt members and my installer for my deck sayin there isnt any...

 

nope sry but i can prove to you that there is one with 2 reasons

1. I sold my whole stock system on the site with the amp included so there is an amp.
2. If your installer hooks up an aftermarket deck like there isnt an amp then you will get no sound and he will look like a *******.

Either way there is a stock amp in cobalts with the pioneer system
