sorry to hear that. I guess you have to buy a set of nice after market speakers. Good luck!

Ya the woofer blows easy!!! If its the woofer, then switch to an aftermarket sub. But if its the actual SPEAKERS, then I'd say replace with ML again. Love my ML speakers!

The coups come with a sub? Sorry I'm new and still trying to research this stuff. Does the convertible also come with one? I just read that it was a 14 speaker setup

I searched and searched for a ML sub replacement. Options are extremely limited. Either order a replacement sub from Sewell for $310 w/CL discount.

http://is.sewellparts.com/oem-catalo...S350-2006.html

Or go the aftermarket route, get a 10" or 12" sub + box + amp + wiring and stick it in the trunk for minimum $1000.

There are zero plug & play options for replacing the sub using the existing speaker location. Bass is not a huge deal for me but I did feel like the sound system was missing something without the sub hooked up (obviously!). I bit the bullet and ordered a replacement sub from Sewell and installed it myself. Comes with a 1 year warranty.
