[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1119272, member: 21926"] Evan, I checked this out early on and it just seemed that the 802A got more consistent positive results by adding the amp and it’s not a big addition of work / expense. see [url]http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f266/added-sub-52819/[/url] I found a few who reported replacing only the sub, but the reported results were mixed. Adding the amp really wakes things up. Just the sub, is (Guy?) Under $200 for the sub, amp, wiring kit. So far, of all the internet reviews I found of replacing the stock sub / stock box, adding only a sub amp, not one reviewer has said ‘darn, this sucks, I’m tearing it back out’. All of them have been favorable. Although 300w sounds like a lot for the given sound system - which is 25 x 7(?) rms, it’s not. I’m thinking 4-450w would be good for the existing sound system, no other changes. I’d have remote adjustable gain, but yeah. 300w rms for the sub is adequate. I’m not talking about bass that overpowers everything else in the track, or OG / wannabe gangsta rap for the purpose of pissing off people next to you in traffic, but there should be enough to feel the bass not just hear that it’s there and it exists.
