I knew I wanted to change out the OEM sub, I knew I wanted to keep the OEM box, and I also knew I didn't want to change out the OEM amp. I have the Ford Explorer Limited 2013 with the 10 speaker system which already sounded good.
However, I knew due to age, and usage that it was time for upgrading the speakers and I decided to start with the subwoofer.
I watched videos carefully on how to take apart the panel, so after watching so many videos I did it and was able to do everything in about an hour.
The Ford subwoofers are dual 1.2 ohms, so the dual 2 ohms are perfect because let's face it, you'll never find 1.2ohm woofers and if you do they will not fit and on top of that they are very expensive!
Now, I added poly fill inside the OEM box and it made a difference in sound completely. The bass sounded tighter and more real, it filled the cabin more compared to the OEM one.
The only fear I had was that due to the difference in ohms, that there might have been some clipping. But not at all, I played hip-hop, house, jazz, alternative, rock, Spanish, Italian and it all sounded perfect.
Now, I will say this, I don't know if this sub would work for the regular sound system, or even the step up from regular. I have the 10 speaker Sony system which has a higher rating of wattage compared to the others.
This was an amazing upgraded to the factory system. Enjoy
