any difference in the sound vs. the stock subwoofer for a 2002 chevy suburban?

I actually used it to replace the blown sub in a Paradigm active subwoofer enclosure as part of my home theater. Paradigm no longer proved a replacement, and I have been very happy with this Polk Audio unit and would recommend it.

Yes, don't get the single 4 ohm voice coil. Get the dual voice coil version. The sub in my tahoe was 2 ohm and I had very little bass after installation. The dual can be wired to 2 ohms and will sound much better. I have a 2001 tahoe with sub in the rear driver side. I highly recommend looking at replacing the head unit, bypassing the built in amp and adding a rear sub amp as well.

Hi Jim, I really can't speak to the specific sound differences, I can say though that the Polk has a nice, tight punchy bass and I have been very happy with it's performance

Mario the Gator is 100% correct with his suggestion. I have a 2012 Special Ops edition Rubicon. I replaced my the sound bar speakers with the plug and play replacements by Chrysler. I think they are re-badged Kickers. First I did it without the polyfill and the speakers sounded a little better. Then I used polyfill and actually built a box around the speaker with Dynamat...huge difference...no vibrations and the whole thing took about 1.5 hours. I also replaced the built in Infinity sub with an 8" kicker. Because the head unit did not have enough power to push it (even with a 2ohm speaker) I added a sub dedicated JL Audio JX250 mono amp under the rear storage area (and I put a small amp powered fan on it to keep it cool). I also replaced the dash mounted tweeters with JBL tweeters (another huge difference). The whole change was inexpensive and made a dramatic difference to the entire sound system.

I don't know but, I would not buy this subwoofer as the one I purchased failed to work very shortly after my purchase.

After ....... And I recommend Checking out Autotek 7007 this will change your music quality , but I still have my PAC knob but it's unplugged ! The Autotek has knobs SubSub bassMid bass Mid Treble and the blue light is very cool looking and had a built in crossover but if your using the Pac knob u will need two Couplers one for the head unit and one to the amp ..... U can email me if u like blessedwithfaith78 at gmail

It is, but 1) like Adam said you should buy separate sub speaker wire 2) make sure that those big round terminals will fit on your amp. Mine needed the small spade terminals. Not a big deal, but didn't notice until I had my car apart. 2 Long walks later and it sounds great.

It gives you what you need in a subwoofer...I noticed the difference right away...thick and nice!!!

I didn't purchase the 6x9's. The speakers I purchased were only replacements for 13yr old blown out factory speakers in my old p/u truck. I'm not much of a car audio expert but if you're driving 2 amplified subs without any "speaker" amplification, you're missing out on a lot of sound. Amping your speakers will not give much more bass but will really make a difference in your overall sound quality. I for one don't care how good a system sounds outside of a vehicle cabin. It's all about the inside for me. As far as an amp, stick with your well known names. You'll pay a little more but low noise values and amp efficiency all equate better sound at the speaker as well as a long life.

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.

This is a great subwoofer. I run it through an old Peavy crossover and it sounds great... way more control. You can find crossovers used for less than $50.

The signal defiantly does not make the OEM flasher sound, it is slightly quieter, the flash pattern is a little on the fast side, even with incandescent bulbs, no LEDs, but if you want LEDs then this is the ticket, it might take a while to get use to the flash pattern and sound, Like I said it sounds different compared to the stock unit. Overall not a flaw, seamless install, never had a problem with it, Ive used it for 2 months now.The loud factor can be attributed to many things including engine noise, wind noise, ect. I installed mine in a 2003-2004 Silverado 2500HD LB7 Duramax.

I don't own the car you do, but I can vouch the the sub can put some real bass into a sedan. It is also possibly small enough to stash near or under a seat. But overall bass performance will also relate to what you are listening to. Personally, for best results, I'd probably get two and make sure you have about 200 watts. But the sub can really hold its own most of the time.

Great sub-woofer. Just compare the specs from the model you are referring to. Not sure exactly what you mean by classic? there are many versions. For example, in this present time this model you are looking at is now an older version and kicker now has newer versions that handle a bit more RMS Watts

I have 1 in a standard sealed enclosure and it is AMAZING. Very clean crisp bass with plenty of power. The shop I had it installed at actually started carrying these subs to sell after hearing the power this sub had in a small enclosure with only 800w pushing. I would make the switch IF crisp bass is what your after (I listen to all kinds of music and need it to compliment rap/rock/pop/dub step). If shaking the vehicle next to you is your only goal go ported.

I have the VE-12s, which are the same speaker except a 12" sub-woofer instead of a 15" (actually gives lower bass response for some reason). This speaker pretty much provides its own sub. Any sub you will buy for a reasonable price will pretty much duplicate the effect of the big speaker anyway. Just buy a pair of these and a beefy stereo amp and enjoy the volume (if that's what you're into).

the 3 way vs the 4 way won't be a dramatic difference, but your treble (highs) or maybe mids will probably be better, but the bass shouldn't be affected any differently, and the 1/2 to 3/4 is a difference in the mounting brackets not the size of the sub

I don't find the EQ to make all that much difference but I never do. The sound quality out of the deck is excellent but I have added aftermarket speakers as well and a subwoofer. I wouldn't expect a miraculous change if you leave in low quality OEM speakers.
