Finally after many hours of jamming to rock music cranked up, because that's how I like it, the sub finally blows. This afternoon on my way back from school, the sub began to crack and sound very distorted. I really don't like a lot of bass with my music so I have the level set at 2.

So I've read around and from the sounds of it, upgrading the stock system for an aftermarket one looks like a PITA. Audio/electrical is not my forte either. I'm colorblind. I'm trying to avoid upgrading the whole system, but if I have to, oh well. It won't justify getting another Bose sub so I can blow it again. So would there be a way to upgrade the stock sub with a better aftermarket one? Has anyone tried this? Thanks...

I was looking around on here when I did my sub install. You would have to get a free air sub. I believe I saw an install on here somewhere.

you don't need to upgrade the whole system,just a sub and Amp and you're good to go....
i did this awhile back and very please with the sound!

The hardest part is fabricate the box for the sub and amp, the wiring you can do it with your eyes closed!

Here's thread of what i did...

yea. many of us still have the stock headunit with an aftermarket sub and amp. i wasnt willing to install an ugly install kit on my 6. it really cheapens the look of the interior. so i upgraded everything around the stock headunit. lol
