Are you replacing the sub amp? If not, you are wasting your money and trying the polyfil of the OEM sub is likey your best bet.

If replacing the sub amp then a 10" sub would be great. I wouldn't go for a 12 unless you amp your fronts otherwise your sub amp gains will be turned down so the sub doesn't overpower your front stage and be a waste.

I have a single 12 in my truck, but I run an amp for the front speakers and an amp for the sub.

I agree. A 10 with a good amp will blow u away.

Mind sharing your setup? I'm trying to run a single 12 Alpine type r with a dedicated amp but can't decide how big to go on wattage for either front or back. Also, any pics?
