Factory Sub - blown :-(

[Guido0136]

My factory Sub in my 1994 has died. Trying to find a 6.5 inch replacement. Any suggestions? Stick with a Ford speaker, or are there others that I can consider. Keep in mind I live in Ontario Canada.

Thanks,

I cut the factory box to fit a 10" sub....it was easy and fitment was perfect!

Are you using the stock amplifier for the 10' sub? did you notice any difference in the bass?

For a direct replacement, that is cheap and no worry of being stiffed with another blown sub sent to you - go to any local pick your own part junk yard.
Take a aa battery with you and tape speaker wire to the each end. Touch the wires to each side of the terminal and you will see the sub either move down to the magnet or up and hear slight static. This will tell you if it is still working.
You dont need a SHO, to my knowledge all the JBL sub's are the same, it's just the boxes that are different. Most all the 91-94 Eddie Bauer Exploeres have their sub's in the back. Simply pop off the speaker grill and (you will have to gently move the foam cover out of the way) unscrew the sub from the housing (4 screws) and unplug and away you go. Most of the explorer subs have an additional plastic grill built on to the sub itself, but that shouldnt affect the sound or fit.
Good luck.

I actually have a 10 inch sub I'm not using and would like to use this as it's free. I quickly looked at putting the 10 in, but did not see a way for the box to be adjusted.
Any help from you would be good as I would like to use the 10 inch. Any pictures would be great.
