I left the factory sub in place, just spliced into the outputs after the factory amp, added an Audiocontrol LC2 w/ remote --> Alpine MRP-M500 --> 12 Type R. IMO the remote is a must. Very useful to help blend the new sub with the source material.

If you plan on doing a ported box, then you can remove the stock sub and use that as the avenue so the bass will go into the cabin.
