[QUOTE="WillyG4444, post: 3182085, member: 555671"] I just purchased a 2001 Toyota Avalon XLS, and I'd like to preserve my trunk space. I have the OEM JBL system in there, and I'm looking to replace the stock sub that sits in the rear deck. It's an 8 inch I believe. I will eventually upgrade the rest of the system, but for now I'm dealing with the sub. My question is, can I drop another sub in the same location with no other installation steps? Of course I would power it with an external amp and run new wires, but I'm saying, for optimal sound, would I need to do a full Infinite Baffle setup and make an IB enclosure and such? Cause I was thinking, if the stock sub works in this current setup, why wouldn't an aftermarket drop right in? Please explain. If this proves to be too difficult I guess I'll have to go with a small sealed enclosure. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
