Gotta do a new box and amp along with a new sub if you want to do it right and sound good. Everytime a customer didn't listen to me and replaced just the sub it was never good enough sound for the money spent on the new sub. Most of them actually sounded worse because of the sub being under powered. I built a sealed 8 box for a table that fit behind the factory plastic. After a dynamat door kit to cover the inside of the plastic it didn't sound too bad. I only did it this way because the owner was very hard-headed about it going there. Trust me when I say that losing a little bit of cargo room is worth the sound you will get. I've done single ported 10's which usually take up about 1 cubic foot in SUVs, even suburbans, and have had impressed and happy customers. An option is to mount the amp under the second row seats and run speaker wire back to the sub(s) and have a terminal cup on your box so if you do need the room all you do is pull the sub and fuse to the amp and fill'er up.

You aren't going to be happy unless you do a custom box for your sub. In short, lo-lyf is right. It's going to sound like crap.

I'm old. I like the sound of the 7th speaker inside my console.
I have a pretty high end system for sale in the classifieds, but I'd NEVER, EVER EVER EVER, run a prefab box, especially a bandpass.

for best sound an amp is a MUST. i HIGHLY reccomend crutchfield.com i bought my amp, subs, box, and front speakers from them. they throw in all the extra little things needed to do the install for free.

amen, brother.Originally Posted by pl4yboy
make sure you get the right amp for your subs. I highly recommend a reputable shop over any sort of online or mail order stuff.

Never buy from Crutchfield unless you want to spend 2X the money.
