Default 10" subs

Will any 10" sub fit in the back there or do I need a different type of sub? I was thinking about getting mtx thunder 6000s and a new amp, so if you guys know just let me know. thanks,

I don't know all the details...I'm not a stereo person. But it seems like a few people here suggested a Pioneer Free Air sub. I bought one at www.etronics.com for just a hair over $50 shipped. Seems like a decent price.

Default air or not

Does anyone know whether the sub should be a free air sub or a normal sub?

Unless your fabbing a box, sub should be freeair.

Not all 10" subs will fit. If the magnet is too long, it will hit the gas tank.

For either subwoofers (pioneer or kicker), do I need to change the factory amplifier as well? I noticed that the kicker is 4-ohm subwoofer and according to somebody in the forum, our factory is not capable of handling 4-ohm subwoofers.

Got my setup for around $700 w/ installation.
Bumps really loud but rattles a lot. Stock Pioneer system cannot compare. I have a standard box sittin' in the trunk.

what do you do to get rid of the rattling?
is this why they say they have to isolate it more?

to stop the rattling, you have to use a product like "Dynamat." This is the way to go and it eliminates rattle and road noise!

I'll be building a custom box for my rear (SC400), i'll post pix once it's complete

Hey, let me save you guys some aggravation, you'll thank me later. A 10" free-air sub, i.e. a JL IB4, is not a straight drop-in. You'll have to take a saw (I used a Jigsaw) to cut apart the frame of the factory sub, and the aftermarket sub will actually sit within the oversized frame of the oe sub. Bolt the new sub to the frame, and bolt the frame back in. Let me know if you need more details, I can give you specific instructions. As far as vibration, you won't see any with the IB4 at about 80hz, it's pretty well dampened back there from the factory. If you want to obliterate your trunk space and add a box with a couple of subs, you'll need to use some Dynamat and perhaps some foam. You'll definitely want an aftermarket amp, you don't need anything incredibly high end, a class D amp would be best, but a good clean unit with 150w or more will do. Take note that the IB4 is only available in an 8-ohm configuration, make sure the amp you use puts out decent power into an 8-ohm mono load. Oh, and you'll have enough room between the fuel tank and the magnet structure, about 22mm.
