Karkov Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 My cousin has 1997 Ford Explorer Eddy Bauer and the factory sub is blown and so he wants to replace it. Is there anything aftermarket he can slam in there with the correct/similar wattage and ohm load? Everything is stock in his vehicle. Anyone with experience please chime in, thanks!! 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

mothra Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 nope, IIRC it's a shallow 8" with a odd 4 bolt pattern. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know
Karkov Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Posted August 25, 2015 nope, IIRC it's a shallow 8" with a odd 4 bolt pattern. I think they went to 8" in 1998. I am not 100% sure but I think his is a 6.5" JBL mid bass 130 watt max (90 watt?) 4 ohm, stock type of thing. he is keeping factory amp, just is looking for direct aftermarket replacement to slap in there on the cheap.

d-nice88 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 How about the audio pipe ts-ar6 from sonic electronix for 29.99 they even have a code to save 15% on it. Looks like it will do
reedal Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Yes, it's just a 6.5. Had it in my explorer. But mine wasn't blown, and I never replaced it. If I had, I probably would have put one of kickers 6.5 cvr's or whatever model it is in there. I remember looking into it at one time.

Karkov Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Posted September 26, 2015 It's a SVC 4 ohm, I think he bought a Pyle and threw it in there. #1 was cost #2 was performance, lol 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

MotorCityFats13 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Posted September 26, 2015 people over at the explorer forum always bring this up and they either replace with the parts express 6.5" or the kicker variation... same thing goes for the 98+ but they use the 8" versions.... you can either find something duel 2 ohm or single 4 ohm but options are not that available and most people say the output is better after you replace the stock sub but some of those people after a little time ditch the sub and go a different route.... don't go too crazy because the air space in the stock box will not support anything that needs more air or sports a larger magnet.... some modifications are necessary to mount the new speaker ... some have went as far as replacing the amp with some success because the stock amp cant put out anything worthwhile
