curious if it is at possible to replace the stock sub with a powered one, instead of having a box in the trunk taking up all the room?


tried doing a search for this. hope this question hasn't been answered a 100 times.

 

I dont see why not, I did it on an explorer I had a while back.

 

ya you can replace it with an aftermarket shallow 10

 

i would recommend the rockford fosgate P3 shallow mount

ok great.



now can i use existing wiring for the stock sub and just add an amp? or should i cut out the existing wiring for the factory and run it like i would through the rear speakers? (not too familiar with the cobalt's audio system)

 

Wait a sec, can that hunk of plastic handle an aftermarket "amped" sub?????

 

what i normally recommend over cutting the wires is using T-taps. just disconnect the plug, tap those wires for signal and run new speaker wire thru the now empty screw hole in the back and seal it up

 

so use the rear speaker wire and not the wire run for the sub?

 

nah use the sub wires... theres a plug on it too
