The factory speakers are all interconnected with fiber optic cables. If you want to replace the factory speakers, you have to replace all of them, run new wires, and get a new amp.
I just added a jl 12w7. They fabricated it in the rear deck where the factory sub used to be with modifications of course. I love the bass. There is also no trunk rattle since the sub and port are firing into the cabin.

i was deciding to add a sub as well. You can do so by purchasing the JL Audio Clean Sweep which will allow you to use your existing speakers. Ive heard nothing but praises about the clean sweep. Since im planning on upgrading to a new car soon, my temporary solution to the lack of bass was changing the ssetup on the comand. I changed the sound from Surround to Front Optimized which created a bit more bass up front.

I also want to add a sub to my system, however i do not want to replace all the wires.
Has anyone used the clean sweep? if so is a simple install? or is there another way to add a sub without replacing the fiber optic
Thanks
