Blown hk subs what are my options

[midlandtech]

He Guys my po seemed to like his music loud as the audio system in my car was on crutches when I got it... My hk subs have always popped and yesterday gave up the ghost my question is should I replace the hk's or do a separate sub and amp? I cannot figure out why speakers would work as replacement however I have always been a pretty good box builder so setting up a 10 or 2 in the trunk wouldn't be much of a struggle (my wife however will probably be pissed) what opinions/advice do ya got?

I guess it would come down to ultimate sound quality vs. trunk space. I've considerd the bavsound setup with the speakers and different amp but I think it's kind of pricey.

Do you have a ski-pass? If not, you can knock out the metal and build a box to fire an 8 or 10 into the cabin. Would take up minimal space in trunk.

No ski pass I designed a small ported box for 10's in winISD and I have an amp I can use... Wish there were replacement/ upgrde subs for the stock hk's... I may build a mock up box and see what it looks like

You think any of these would work for you?

They might just worried about ohm load and power handling vs stock I don't know what ohm or rms rating the stock woofers are

When I bought my ZHP used I thought my rear subs were blown turns out it was the rear shelf rattling bad. Search "rear deck fix" or "rear shelf rattle". I found some used HK subs on E46Fanatics for $40 before I realized it wasn't the subs. Check on eBay or call BSW.

I believe they are 2 OHM's.

Wow didn't know they were that low... The cdt's may be a viable option... Any one have any idea what stock sub amps output is?

unsure. let us know how the replacement goes (if they are in fact blown) and what you get to fit in there.
