03.5 MSP sub question?

[Jason94Cobra]

Does anyone know where I can find the volume of air space in the stock sub enclosure?

Also is there another 8" sub that I can buy that would sound better in the stock enclosure?

Hmmm, I'd say the electronics forum would probably be a better source for info, but I do recall reading something elsewhere of some guy saying of a better speaker he put in his box.

Kind of on the bottom of my mod list considering the stock stereo is pretty dang good.

This has been discussed several times in the audio forums. I don't believe anyone has actually measured the volume of the box yet.

However before I got my custom enclosure done I put a JL Audio W3v2 8" sub in mine and it was a great improvement over stock. The stock sub sucks in my opinion, and well it's still only a 8" sub, the single JL was much better then the kenwood.

Too bad we don't have an actual MSP audio forum.

Yea dude you can change out the stock 8" I think Servoeyes is using a JL. He likes them, maybe you will too.

1st MSP also has some knowledge about the air volume, you could PM him and ask.

Hey, that's a good idea....

I already pm'd an admin and haven't heard squat. I feel like the whole MSP section should be sectioned off.
Audio, MOD's, ....whatever.

I dunno the actual air space, but if you get crutchfield, the 8 inch kicker comp isnt to far off from the 8 inch kenwood as far as cu. ft. specs and its a far better speaker.

you can call airesearch(q-logic)they make the enclosure.as for the kenwood sucking nuts,the main reason is that it is an 8 ohm speaker and the amp only produces a few watts at 8ohms mono.by going to a 4 ohm speaker youll see a gain due to getting more power.as for sticking in a jl audio speaker,go for it they kick ass!!
