While this subwoofer upgrade package won’t rattle the windshield in your car it does provide better bass response than the factory subwoofer. If your factory subwoofer is blown the difference in bass output will be extreme. If you are looking to get the most out of this subwoofer upgrade we also recommend upgrading the amplifier that powers this subwoofer. You can save your self some money by installing this subwoofer yourself following the video guide below. If you want to have this subwoofer installed professionally it is about 2 hours of installation time.

When replacing your factory subwoofer there are three main specifications your new must subwoofer must meet. One is that it must be a free air subwoofer as the factory subwoofer is not fully enclosed. The second is that it must be 8 inches and not exceed 6 inches in depth so that it may fit in the factory location. The last specification is that its final impedance must be two ohms to not cause any issues with the factory amplifier. This Kicker subwoofer meets all of those specifications and fits into the factory location with the use of our adapter bracket. The kicker subwoofer also has a flat surround which stops it from rubbing against the rear deck.

In order to achieve the best bass output we recommend applying sound treatment to the rear deck and the rear deck cover. This sound treatment is to minimize rattle and increase acoustical output to your ears. The sound treatment is an additional purchase. We offer some options you can check them out here.

Installation

To install the subwoofer upgrade you will need to remove the rear seats, the C-Pillars, and the rear deck cover. The tools you will need include a ratchet, ratchet extensions, a 10mm socket, a panel removal tool, a clip removal tool and a towel or blanket to protect parts of your interior. If you are completing the install your self and its the first time removing the rear seats, we suggest setting aside 2-4 hours to complete the installation.
