Since it sounds like doing dynomat will not make a huge difference in the subs performance, can anyone recommend a new sub that will fit right into the stock opening? My understanding is that the sub has a seperate amp and the other four midranges have and amp, are both of these amps fed line level inputs or speaker level inputs?

 

You can never go wrong with JL in my opinion!
Check out the new w7's...

Just make sure you give enough juice!

 

well, W7 is totally out of the question if you are really looking to mount into stock sub location. Actually my JL 10W3 did not fit with the angles and depth of the sub. It might have worked, but the amount of work and money to make it happen was not worth it for me. I also tried a JL 10IB4 (free-air) in the stock location as well....just adds warmth, not really much bass. I have my JL 10W3 in a small box in the hatch and it sounds awesome...little loss of space, but I can live with that.
