replacing stock sub options?

[onelovechicago]

there was alot of talk on GMFS forumn of just replacing the stock bose sub for possibly a 8inch kicker? Not looking to "drop the bass" so this sound like the best option? any ideas

i went with a MTX Thunderform box that fits where the stock sub goes

and a MTX FPR 10" shallow mount sub 2ohm

i love it


edit: i feel like you get a lot more bang for your buck with this setup as opposed to the JL audio stealthbox imo

Where is the sub on a 2007 Yukon Denali? I have cup holders and a center console between my front seats. Not sure if I have a sub in there or not. I'd like a little bump. Maybe by adding a 10 or 12. Def not trying to win any contests. Just want it to hit the low notes which the stock ones can't do. I put a 12" mtx in my Honda and it was great but that box is kinda big. I like the stealth option to get the same quality bass. I think I had a kicker amp pushing the sub.

It's under your center console.

It's under your center console.

Is this the same for a 2007 Escalade?

The 2007-20012 systems are the same in the denalis and escalade for those years.

Well that just sux, I looked them up for my application and 2004 Denali isn't listed. It actually covers 2001-2006 Yukon NON-Denali's. I guess I need to make a phone call to determine whether I can add this to ours.

How is the sound quality compared to the factory sub?

It blows the factory sub out of the water.


I don't think it will fit on the Escalade though.

On the Denali it must be the pocket in front of the cup holder than that causes the issue. My center console doesn't have vents, but does have a radio tuner in the top of the back.
