Subwoofer Replacement Question
 

I might get flogged for double posting but no one moved this from the 04-08 section so I apologize in advance.

I have the audiophile subwoofer and it's developed a rattle sort of sound at certain hits of the bass. I pulled the 8 inch sub and held it and it still rattled when I played bass through it so I determined it's the sub itself. There's no tears in the cone or the spider and I removed the grill that covered it (thinking it was bumping/vibrating against it) but it'll still rattle. I may replace it, but the connectors on my sub are spade terminals. I'm seeing after market subs have a totally different cylinder or square type terminals. How would I go about connecting the factory amp wires? Or would I need an adapter? I do have an after market head unit. I do plan on keeping the stock amp as it was good enough for me. I just hope it can drive a $60 sub without it sounding less good than the factory one.

The the spade terminals off and use bare wire to your new sub

Cut them off the factory wire and twist them into those connectors? I didn't know itd be that simple hahah! Thank you!

Would this be adequate enough if I kept the stock amp? So long as it is as good or better than the factory sub I'd be fine with that.

Sure

Did you move forward with this option and are you happy with the results if so?

If you mean replacing the subwoofer with the one i linked then yes!! Tons better than the factory system and it was relatively cheap too :)
