in the 1994 gs... there is a 10" sub and i was told from my local car stereo shop that in order to replace the sub... you will have to get a special AIR FREE SUB since the OEM uses the trunk as the box? if so...what brands makes an AIR FREE SUB? please help...

Kicker Free-Air, JL Audio IB10 (discontinued), as well as many others. I would go with the JL, if I could find one.

great question... my stock sub in my '96 blew out so I took it out and replaced with a 12in sub in a sealed box. Do you guys recommend this route or would it be better to replace the stock sub I took out? just curious.

Did you lose a good amount of trunk space with the box?? If you can live with it, I'd say keep it.
I believe that it is easier to "tune" a sealed or ported sub compared to a free-air one.

Plus, when you open your trunk to "thump" with your friends, it all goes away with a free-air sub

I lost some space in the trunk, but nothing I can't live with... plus, when absolutely necessary, I can unplug and remove it. I just like the stock look stometimes.... having a nice clean uncluttered trunk would be nice.
