i want to purchase something like this that i can easily pull out of the car easily if i want.

now, the question is: will it work with the stock stereo?

i'm not a huge car audio fanatic. just looking to add a little oomph and not a lot of weight.

here's the link:
Amazon.com: Boss Audio BASS600 8-Inch Low Profile Amplified Subwoofer - Single: Electronics

thanks guys

 

i would skip out on that and try to mod the stock subs the boss 8" will not sound right with stock 6.5" subs. if you run boss by itself it will not be as powerful as two 6.5".

i would read up and see the members who modded their stock sub bracket to house a bigger sub. then i would get a 150x2 channel amp and power the new subs with clean power and mount the amp behind the passenger seat towards the bottom of the floor where the net is and use a piece of 1/2" wood behind the carpet to mount the amp two. it will add around 15lbs since i figure the amp will be 8-10 lbs and the speakers will add an additional 3 lbs. this will be the best way to get some punch

i am going to be putting my focal subs up for sale soon and the bracket if you are interested. i was going to sell the subs and bracket separately since the bracket is modded to house a deep sub 3.03" deep speaker. i had it installed by a local shop and plan to go a different route for midbass in my system still tweaking it to my likings.

 

Keep me in mind when you do. Those would make a nice upgrade from the Kicker CompVT 08CVT654's I have in my factory locations in the roadster, I have Crossfire Audio X6 components in the doors and a Crossfire Audio XP6004 amp driving those and the Kickers. I don't know if they are quite as good as the Focals, but I love the Crossfire components and the Kickers really aren't up to grade with those. The amp is killer, back to the good old days with twice the rated power.
