Default Replacing Stock Subwoofers

I'm thinking about changing out the Stock 6.75" subs for the Rockford Fosgate HE RFP3406. Has anyone tried those? How does it hit? They sell those at Crutchfield for $80 a piece. So let me know if it's a good idea? Thanks.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Honestly, you wont notice much of a change.. My friend put a pair of JL's in there and it was a waste of money. Get yourself a pair of 10's for the rear and you'll be set.

Thanks... I'm thinking the same also. How about Subthump on the passenger side 10" and JL 10" on the driver side? Will the two woofers cancel each other out? Just some ideas to be tossed out there. Any feed back would be great. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

If your using the factory amp and replace the subs it won't sound very well. The volume won't be very loud. The factory speaker is some funky dual voice 2 ohm little setup and it seems know one make anything like it.
