[QUOTE="Blackout67, post: 8877847, member: 683415"] Ah my bad didn't see where you were waiting to do that. Honestly it would probably not be worth getting a different subwoofer to replace the stock one without switching out amps. There is limited information on the technical specs for the components go. I've seen claims that the subwoofer amp is 100 watts or up to 500 watts. I cannot find anything on the impedance rating and the amp is likely rated for "max power" not RMS output anyways. If you are looking to get higher output, you'd might as well wait till you can get that ported 10 inch. Any 8 inch in a sealed box that small is not going to have any meaningful oomph below like 50hz. Furthermore, factory amp and EQ is set up for the factory speakers and subwoofer and adding a different subwoofer with the pre set factory settings will make it sound completely different, especially considering that factory systems are tuned to have a huge amount of midbass cauze its easier to get louder with less cone area and power in that frequency range.
