stock sub modification

Ok, first of all, how d you remove the woofer from the enclosure? Do I have to remove the one bolt off the back? I already have the enclosure out of the car. Also, can I hook this sub up to my mono amp? It is a 2-ohm amp. Thanks

Ok i got it out of the box. can i hook it up to my amp?

Anybody???

1st of all..If you hook up your 2ohm amp you WILL blow the sub..its a 4 ohm sub, 2nd of all...You do need to remove the bolt out of the back in order to take it out

My amp is 4ohm but it can put more power out at 2ohm. Its a JL e1800d. So if the sub is 4ohm and my amp is 4 ohm, how do I hook up the new wires?

the stock sub is some crazy low wattage, it's about maxed out from the factory amp if i recall correctly.

For this setup....series..remember with ohms its all what the amp see's

and parrell will drop everything to 2 ohms if bridged

stock sub is dual 2 so you can only run it in series at half power. ur gonna have to pop the wires to see which coil is witch. obviously each coil has a red and black wire
