I installed the Pioneer sub with grill bar. No matter what sub you install do not expect a lot, unless adding an amp. You will not get any more noticable thump just replacing the sub.
BUT…..this is what happened. By JUST replacing the subwoofer, all the other speakers sounded better and the door woofers had more thump. I was confused, and someone on another thread pointed out the stock sub puts out a terrible resonance that counters what the other speakers put out. I can’t verify that, but damn, if it doesn’t sound like a reasonable enough explanation to me.
The complete stereo system, especially set on Surround, sounds clearer, less muddy, and the side woofers have much more presence.
so when just replacing the sub, don’t expect a huge difference in that one speaker, but expect the entire system to sound better overall.
Today I’m installing an 8 ohm center speaker upgrade. OEM speaker is 8 ohm 12.5 watts, so I’m keeping it 8 ohm to not create an imbalance.
