Swapping out stock MACH Sub

4904 Views 14 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  Scooter Scott
So I have came to the conclusion that I want to keep my back storage space for other than a huge subwoofer box. I currently have my amp setup to run the stock sub...but I am looking to replace that sub with something that doesn't distort as much :doh:

I found this: Clicky

Anyone else got any thoughts?

Thanks for your input guys!
Problem is that the sub that the enclosure is not made for a 05+ Escape and it also runs about $250 :(
8"
I just got the sub in and I already put it in and sealed it up w/ black silicone. Just waiting on the silicon to dry before I try her out :)

And sorry I forgot to take pics of the install :(

I can explain exactly how to do it though...I will do a write up later.
