MACH Subwoofer

Recently changed the amp and subwoofer in my 98 Expedition EB and was wondering if anyone had any experience or recommendations to place a 10 inch woofer in the factory 8 inch sub cutout located in the rear right panel of the expedition. I have seen that MTX makes one, but I am looking for a less costly venture to do this.

Is the factory enclosure built in such a way that you could cut the opening bigger without destroying the structure? I have to ask as I have never seen the factory box.

You could keep your eyes open on e-bay, they seem to always have some listed there.

Another suggestion would be to look at a higher end 8" sub. I had a pair of Kicker Solo-Baric 8's and they made it sound like I had 12's.

Good Luck,

Tim

Not sure if the structure would support the opening or not, looking for ideas that others may have used. As far as the high end 8, I have an MTX 6000 8 inch now in there and it is not doing the job for me. I used it first with the factory amp, which is very weak and now have another AMP which is great, but I have the 10 in a box outside the enclosure until I can try something else.

I just replaced the sub in our 98 EB. I used a Rockford-Fosgate Punch RFZ3408. It is a 4 ohm 8 inch. Fit great in the factory box and sounds great. Best part was $50.00 at Ultimate Electronics
