97 Mountaineer Sub

I've got a 97 Mountaineer with JBL in which the sub has blown, and I'm looking for a quality replacement for it. This is the second sub that has died on me in the last 6 months due to a stressed connection between the cone of the speaker and the connector of the speaker. I'm not sure that I want to buy the same speaker and have the same thing happen to the new one, so what would you all suggest I put in its place that will put out some good sound? I'm still using the factory-installed amp, so please keep this in mind when making suggestions so as to not blow the amp. Thanks!

-Steve

with the factory amp you would not beable to push even a solo baric 8. you might beable to push a kicker comp 10. i would get an aftermarket amp with your new subs.

Almost sounds as if was a defect in the sub. The stock sub set up isnt that great to begin with. With that said, being your truck is a 97 I would look into a stealth sub box and put an amp to it. In total you will most likely be out $350-$400 but you'll be happy.

Cause they r not controlable so just to hear them u need to turn the bass all the way up which with some songs makes them distort easy.

It wouldnt be that bad if you could control the sub volume instead of raising the bass just to hear it
