[Shotimes] subwoofer replacement

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Joe:
 I found a perfect drop in high quality replacement. JL Audio makes 6.5"
subwoofer. 6W0. They are a little hard to find. I got two on E-bay for
$70/pair. Used one in a stock application and sounded great. I used the
other speaker in my aftermarket setup. I added the factory box and did not
like the factory driver. Comparing the stock JBL to the JL unit shows the
quality difference!
