So yea Last night I realized I had a factory sub under my seat. It sounds absolutely horrible. It bottoms out at like volume on 5 bars. If youve ever heard someone that has like 2 12's in their trunk of a car and just rattles the ever living sh out of the trunk. is what it sounds like. Could it busted? Bought the truck about month ago. I believe Im just gunna take it oiut and put 2 10's

 

Yours must have something wrong with it or might be blown. I could turn mine almost all the way up with no distortion or problems with it at all. I replaced mine with a JL10w1 in the factory spot and it sounds much much better, but the stock one sounded great.

 

Must be something wrong with your's...For a factory system, mine jams.

 

Dont get me wrong It sounds pretty good. But then it sounds like it bottoms out. or its banging against something. So I checked and there nothing under there. I mean maybe Im just used to the JL's and not a factory sub

 

Apples and oranges man. The stock sub sounds good for stock, kinda. It's NO where near even a crappy aftermarket setup.

 

Ok so I worked with it a little today. and turned my bass down a bar and it helped tramendous. sounds pretty dang good for a stock sub. Kinda had me second guessing about spending some money on subs but..... I think Im just gunna go ahead and sell the 6 cd changer head unit and the factory sub. what do they usually run?

 

I have the Audiophile system and it's pretty good for my needs.. mind you, I want to be able to hear when I turn 40

Anywho.. different songs have different bass levels, I adjusted my settings to: front driver, fade out the rear a little, treble nearly max, bass half and it sounds pretty decent.
