I looked at the non-ML subwoofer before. It is basically pioneer brand and I think it would not fit based on the pictures I saw.

After market is definetly another option. I did not go with aftermarket set up due to:

1. it can be costly (amp and sub and possibly extra battery too) for a good setup
2. it would take up quite a bit of already small truck space (except for 4080 enclosure which is a good one if you can find it - search 4080 in the forum)
3. additional setup of wiring.

Junk-yard is actually the best solution if you can find it close by. There were none near me so I had to fork out $300+shipping to get the OEM subwoofer. Trunk space is more important than nice-heavy-and-clear bass to me.

I hope you do find one ml sub in junk yard.

Yes connector is the same.

Thanks for the info. My last concern with the Pioneer sub is the following: does it sound much worse than the ML subwoofer?
