I bought this sub today to install in the stock location behind the driver's seat.

It has a plastic ring on the mounting surface that preventds the stock Bose cover from sitting all the way down.

Does anyone know if this ring can be removed and how to renove it?

 

need pics indicating exactly what you want to remove.

 

+1, that sub will sound a whole lot better in a sealed enclosure.

 

 

We're trying to tell you it's gonna sound like POOP.

 

Don't waste your time putting it in the stock location. You will have to pay more to move it like everyone else here. Trust me, I moved it under strut and no comparison. Behind the seat is directional and horrible for sound quality while in the rear backfiring fills the cabin good. Do some research before installing it.

 

Well if its plastic, you will have to cut it off, I would think that would be unwise. Your surround is probably glued down but that plastic ring has to lend some integrity to the sub. I agree with everyone else though, that sub needs a box to really shine.

 

9 times out of 10 that outer ring is a part of or is glued to the surround.
