honestly didnt know they sold speakers. More then likely they are overpriced as well. I know the sub is not worth it. You could get a real nice JL, Alpine, or high quality system for the same or close to price. Also it would 100% better!

Alright thanks for the info....it should still be easy to find another sub and also find a box fitting in the back as if it came from the factory though right.....anyways thanks for the advice

The bazooka sounds good, but is overpriced as is most things you get from the dealer. Maybe find someone who got one with new car (guilty here) and then upgraded to something else and is will to sell the old one. They can be had cheap used, and there is a simple plug in harness that makes hook-up easy. Would make good add on sub to start with and they are self powered and need no amp. find someone with one installed and see if you like the way they sound before trying to find one.

this is true also...if your wanting to save space then tubes are the way to go. If you like bass and good sound go with regular subs and box.

The VSE isn't a tube. It's a 10" sub and 150 watt amp for under $300 (from McGeorge or elsewhere, not from the dealer.) It's a steal for a custom fit fiberglass enclosure and it sounds great. See many of my previous posts on this topic by doing a search.

EXACTLY!!! i don't know why all these people r hating on the VSE sub. I love it it sounds great and adds that perfect complement to the stock system. It has a totally custom fit that does not eat up that much trunk space in an already small trunk, plugs right in and sounds great!!!!!!!!!I payed $260 for mine from McGeorge and installed it myself, if you can get something that sounds better and costs the same i will have to hear it to believe it!!!!
