Yeah something like that. Shipped and sold from a different vendor.. perhaps we generated a mini-flood of orders and they ran their stock out.

At the time you posted it, it showed 7 in stock. I hope we get kickbacks for the advertising.

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.

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.?

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.

With good audio the stock one doesn't seem that bad. XM for eample sounds pretty good, though I refuse to pay for it. FM is definitely not up to snuff. Good CD sounds ok.

Always wanted more kick but didn't want to sacrifice what little space there was so this might be the ticket. Now to see if I can find it under $300 again.

Sonic electronics has it for $299 and when I bought it they gave me a 15% off code.

Pending install...

Just an FYI, I wasn't able to wire this to the Bose with Nav system. I ultimately did the nav delete and it sounds fantastic now!

Would you mind posting a detailed write up on how you installed the sub and wired it? I'm trying to upgrade my sound system and have been looking for a nice sub enclosure that wouldn't take up too much space so this would be perfect, but i have no clue how i would wire it up since i have a pioneer AVIC-5000NEX HU.

Simple with an aftermarket hu.
1) #8 red wire to battery for main power (fuse protected)
2) #8 ground wire attached to chassis.
3) RCA cable from sub output on hu to either one of the two rca plugs on sub
4) Blue wire to remote turn on wire on head unit.
5)Done
