I did the same thing on mine. I did keep it as a band pass box though. I stuffed it, and was able to put a nice JL in there. What a difference. I actually had to turn it down a bit to get the staging right because it out drove the fronts (which were also amped up and swapped out).
I've been going back and forth on doing something like this. Looks like a great project. Is it difficult to remove the rear bulkhead and get to the sub box?
Its not to hard. Just have to pull the roll bars. It takes a 13mm to remove the bolts from them. Then there are about 6 screws in the bulkhead cover phillips head screw driver. Then you can lean it forward to get to the box. If yo want to pull the cover out of the car you have to unbolt the seat belts.
The first mod to my car was getting this monster in. Someone thought a speaker in the sub place was good enough. Ha!IMG_20150504_192910269.jpgIMG_20150504_192910269.jpgIMG_20150504_192910269.jpg

Nice. Does that fit in a coupe? What is the best shallow 8" available
Haha, sorry I've been MIA, been catching up on past threads... Not a box at all, I'm flattered that it looks that well though. Mine is much more simple then that. I used 2 speaker spacers from eBay (1/2" and 1") and a foam seat from an old camaro I had lying around to fill the space between them and keep it from rattling when turned up... Attached the first spacer to the box itself (1"), which met up well with where the plastic surround meets the sub enclosure, a thick 1 inch cut of seat foam then the 1/2" on the outside of the plastic surround, followed by the subwoofer itself. Since the plastic is recessed for the speaker already when I added the outside spacer and the sub on top you honestly can't tell it wasn't meant to be like that unless you really look1433366749246952416189.jpg
No cutting or damage to the factory plastic, and can easily be converted back to a factory subwoofer. Hey you want some real bass without modification, give it a shot! Got a spare camaro seat if ya need it
So the sub $149 from Amazon, and spacer $15 combined... A cheap down and dirty way to get that huge sub in with absolutely no issues with bass. I listen to my music LOUD, and bass comes through deep and enough for me not to even consider a second!IMG_20150603_152733138.jpg

Oh and no. This sub is 6 1/2 inch to fit in the stock bulk head spot again no cutting
You have so many posts. Can you make 1 post with links of your sub, the spacers, etc.? I'll be doing this next month.
I'm a bit confused at when what you're addressing
This is a good thread, for those of you that don't know the G3 sub-box can be an issue when trying to replace a bad speaker or upgrading to a better sub-bass speaker.
The speaker and box are unique and need to be replaced as an assembly, they don't make a replacement speaker that works and the box cannot be modified to accept another bigger or better speaker.
Hope this helps.
