So with the help of this forum one of the first things I did was to upgrade all of the speakers with what a few members had recommended. It obviously sounds much better but even more obvious was how undersized and overpowered the subwoofer was....if you can call a speaker that small a subwoofer. I think my phone has a bigger speaker.
Anyway, I had a sub box with 2 10" MTX subs sitting around from a car that is being restored and thought I would give it a try. On the OEM subwoofer there are two pairs of wires run to it already so I just disconnected them, reinstalled the panel and then extended the wires so they would reach each side of the sub box.
Once I connected them I was actually surprised at how good they sound. The OEM amp is plenty big to power them and you instantly get much more bass than ever before and no distortion. Granted, you won't win any stereo contest but it was a free upgrade and sounds great. My teenage boys think it is super cool so that was a win...right?
I am going to purchase a sub tube to transfer the speakers into so that they will sit behind the 3rd row when needed. The sub box now does not allow me to use my 3rd row but I hardly ever use it since we travel in the wife's Highlander.
Hope this helps everyone who would like to give it a try and I will take some pics to post if needed.
