Factory Sub Replacement?

esu78 · June 1, 2003

Anyone change the factory SubWoofer w/ another brand?

The subwoofer located in the rear panel. In a Tahoe/Suburban

Any ideas? Thoughts recommendation?

Id like to keep/install similar configuration without giving up the cargo space.

Thanks!

Do a search. Someone here is using a JBL unit that is the correct depth and fits very well.

esu78, I'm in the same boat as you. I want to add bass to my 03 Yukon sound system. I'd like to swap out the factory sub with an aftermarket one. I haven't had any luck finding a solution or any good info on what other people have done successfully.

Anybody out there that can help us?

Hey !

Great- good luck

Well I finally got the factory subwoofer enclosure

I added a JL Audio 8" Subwoofer and a Rockford Fosgate Sub Mono Amp. (125Watts)

It sounds decent. Does not rock the block, but if you are looking for an added thump, this seems to be just right. Also does not give up cargo space.

I did have some trouble installing the subwoofer box in the factory location. Since my vehicle (03 Tahoe) was not equipped for this, the jack, and jack tools were somewhat in the way of installation. (the bolt where tools screw onto)

I had to cut out the plastic molding for the 8" opening, and still need to add some type of grille guard.

I also recommend dampening material through out the rear area, as there is viabration.

Let me know if you need further info.
