Really dumb question I assume since it is “powered” no amp is needed?

That's correct.

I hate to repeat what has already been said but THIS IS SWEET!

Cheaper then buying a custom spare tire box by a boat load and it’s compact!

My factory audio took a dump and instead of diagnosing I figured upgrade time. So 1 piece of the puzzle solved.

I was skeptical when I bought it, I thought I might be throwing away $300.00 but I'm really impressed with how well it performs, especially for a sub that fits like the factory bose pos.

Considering I was happy with the factory Bose pos sub that’s high praise lol 😂

Wow. Been thinking about some how hacking the boss sub for a little more power but with this I don’t have to. Thanks for the post 😊

Personally with a plastic shell I can't see it holding a candle to something like the wicked box or even a custom enclosure. Better then the bose I would imagine yes. Going to install on in the wife's FX35 and see what it's like.

Hey Matt,
It's actually in an aluminum shell and is heavy duty. It's nothing like the cheap plastic piece of crap Bose. I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised at how well it works.

When I got mine I was like "okay let's see how they put a 12" woofer in this thing". The entire driver has a whole through the middle of it, like a donut. Pretty neato, I hadn't seen that before.

I didn't have time to install, but it's a very solidly built piece. It's all metal, but lighter than you'd expect due to being cast aluminum.

Hows the rattling sitting directly on the spare tire?

It come's with a couple of extra bolts and bolts down tight against the spare tire the same as the Bose sub. There's no rattling at all.

Is this sub compatible with the stock Bose head unit and amp? In other words, can you just remove the Bose sub and replace it with the Cerwin Vega sub without need to modify the amp, wiring, etc.?

No. You need to run a #8 power wire to the new sub and you'll want to run the sub speaker wire from the head unit directly to the new sub.
