Default GS OEM Subwoofer Size? (Searched... Yes, even the "what is the size" thread...)

So, I've searched and searched and now I'm more confused than ever. What is the OEM subwoofer size for the 1999 GS??? I've found a few threads and some said 8" while some said 10" (none of those threads were for the GS though). I've looked on Metra's site and they say 8", yet I look on Crutchfield and they say 10". So, short of going out to measure it myself... does anyone know the size? I'm looking to replace my OEM unit and want to use the stock location.

If anyone knows... It would be much appreciated!

You can buy readymade kit using a 10" or you can also use 12" but would have to make your own mounting plate.

I hope this helps.

Ok, so I'm assuming that an aftermarket 10" sub won't just "drop in"?

You may be able to get a Pioneer 10" flat piston to mount to the underside of your rear deck. To be honest, I'm not really familiar with what your trunk/rear deck looks like, but these have great bass and if you are able to put it in the factory location, I'm sure it will sound great!

Hope that helps out some!

some 10 inch subs will fit but for the best installation a mounting plate should be employed for larger subs.

The 2nd gen GS uses 10 inch subs. That's if you have the Pioneer stock system. Non Nak.

Does the Pioneer 10' Shallow Mount sub require an amp? If you put a box, it will would way better...
