Factory Subwoofer or no?

You could actually save the trunk room, and like i did make a custom fiberglass enclosure for a JL 10" on the side which turned out small . I still have trunk room, and i have a amp undereneath the speaker. I had to remake my cover that is over the spare tire and such but it actually sounds great, looks good, and i have my trunk space. I can post pics if you want , PM me.. Devon

For those that have gone with the elemental sub setup what amp did you use, and where to you install it? I like this design the best out of any I have seen. The biggest plus I see with the oem sub is the use of plug and play components. I have installed quite a few amps in the past but the biggest pain is mounting and finding room for them.
I personally like the completely hidden aspect of the elemental sub setup but would also like to hide the amp if at all possible.

I picked up the factory Bazooka sub at Sonic Electronix for about 190 with shipping. Installed it in an hour or two. I was worried about losing a bit of space but I haven't really noticed it. The sound complements the factory stereo well and really helps mask road noise. I considered the ED but when you factor in the enclosure, wiring, the sub and an amp to power it you are looking at $500 or more and you have to find a place to mount the amp. I have heard it and it sounds nice. Sound wise, I have no preference between the two. So I guess it all comes down to personal choice - they are both nice setups. Now....if I could just get one of those RS subs!

FYI, the 08's now have the sub from the RS 2.0 and 3.0 standard. I know it's not a huge or even a moderate bass monster....more like a bass pixie or something, but none-theless, for those of you wanting little fuss or muss, it is an option. With proper h/u settings, it is satisfying.

As an option from the dealer (at the dealer's price) the OEM sub is NOT worth it. I've had it for a while (and enjoyed it for what it is) but I also got it for $100 used.
You can spend $400 in a LOT better ways than that. For $400, you can probably get someone to make you a custom box that fits close to the OEM one, a more powerful sub, more powerful amp, AND pay someone to install it!
But ya, if you can get a really good deal on the OEM one, it's not bad. But not for the $ most places want for it.
