2000 s430

on my car 2000 s430 the only way to upgrade it its to replace that sub with an aftermarket one in the trunk with a separate after market amp, the existing sub will have to be destroy from the bottom unless you r willing to spent 4hrs taking out the seats rear panel rear side trim very hard.. so i destriy it the existing sub and use those wires to get the signal for the aftermarket amp

Thats a lot of great information...I know this is an old thread but I'm looking to replace my sub and I need to know how much depth I have so I can purchase a new sub. Do I need a shallow sub?
