Default Replacing Stock Sub

I heard you can replace the stock 8 inch sub with a 10 inch that would still fit in the box. if so do i need an amp also or could it run off what i have? i have the stock bose system. Im looking to do something cheap to get some thump in the trunk ya know.

1) It'll fit, but it won't sound good at all unless you use an open-air sub.
2) You need an amplifier

hate to change the subject but had a question and thought it might be able to be answered here instead of making a new thread. How big is the compartment w/ the sub. I'm planning on replacing my entire system and was wondering could I put my 2 new amps that I will be getting, in there.

it's a pretty big compartment so you should be fine.

Could heat become an issue for the amps, not sure how hot the amps get but I plan on putting two in there if I get, 1 kicker 650w 4 channel and a JL 500/1v2.

The stock sub is 10 inches. You can swap it out with an aftermarket sub but it wont sound much better and the screw down holes may not align with the stock ones and you will have to drill new holes for your new sub. The bose system does have a seperate amp for the sub but its not that powerful and the signal going to it has been "tuned" for the shitty stock sub.
