Default Factory subwoofer upgrade?

Ok, I know there are a lot of post on this subject, but dang if I can make heads or tails out of them all. I love my factory sub, but now I want more.

So, just what is in that factory sub box? An amp? Speaker size? I was thinking of just replacing the factory speaker with an aftermarket (better?) one. Does this make sense? Do I need to replace the entire unit for better Bass?

I am not looking to rock the cars next to me, but now that I have a taste of good Bass, I want more. What do I need to do to fit this in the same space?

I've seen pics showing it as a dual two ohm. Most say it's an 8".

you can get a 10" kicker(or brad of your choice) a amp( 400 will do) and a box and you will have enough bass to fell it a lil. I had to upgrade from that and go with 2 10s and a 500 mono amp. I also replaced the door speakers and put a 320 amp on them. There are some pix in my album.
