Sub upgrade questions

[SM3]

So, I am a musician, so naturally the bass in the B&O system is a little off putting. I am not looking for competition grade bass by any means, just a tight, controlled musical bass. I want to actually feel the kick drum a little and feel a bass line. I saw alot of folks have swapped out the stock sub for a Pioneer model. So here's my questions. As I dont really care if it appears stock or not, I just dont want the hassle of running all the wiring for a separate amp, could I just get a decent 10 inch sub, like a JL, Kicker, Focal or something, dual 4 ohm voice coil, slap it in to a real enclosure and drive it from the factory sub wiring? Would a pair of 10's with single voice coils work as well ?

@Gregs24 seems to have responded the most to this topic. Hopefully he can answer your questions. I did the pioneer swap and couldn't be happier with the cheap upgrade.

S650 is the same so all of the thread above applies. Lots have done the upgrade and most seem very happy.

I can attest doing the sub swap in the link provided is definitely an improvement over the stock sub. I wanted more bass though so I added an amp also and I am very happy with it now.

Well I’m curious if I could just disconnect the factory sub, drop a decent one in a separate enclosure and just run the wiring from the stock one to the new enclosure and get a little better result.

Guess it's worth a shot if you don't mind taking up more trunk space. Your money, your decision

Looks nice!

Main answers missing:
Did you use stock amp?
Two 4 Ohm single voice coil woofers?

If yes, some more info on housing and subs would also be nice. ;)
