I was looking for a good replacement sub for my 2001 Chevy Suburban and this JBL sub has a massive magnet and a high quality basket at a very reasonable price. So I ordered it up with high anticipations.
It was not meant to be however! The website description of the JBL didn't include the mounting depth for the JBL. The mounting depth of the OEM sub (made by Pioneer it turns out) is REALLY shallow at 3.125" (3-1/8"). There was no way it would fit into the OEM sub enclosure in the left rear of the 'Burban. Back to the drawing board! I could only find a few subs that matched the mounting depth and I settled on the MB Quart DS1-204 Discus Shallow Mount Subwoofer which is also a very reasonably priced unit. I will leave a review on that when it arrives and I've installed and listened to it. Cheers!
It's very difficult to find another sub that will fit in the OEM enclosure because the mounting depth is only 3.125" (3-1/8"). I found this MB Quart unit and it was only 2.875 (2-7/8") so it dropped right in. I found several videos online that outlined the removal and replacement procedure so all in all it was a pretty easy install. Just make sure yopu wire it for 2 OHMS! WOW oh WOW! It sounds better than ever before! The bass is punchy and deep even though the enclosure is small. You won't be disappointed with the MB Quart 8" sub if you have a similar age Tahoe or Suburban.

Deeper than you'd expect from an 8 (I bought 2)
I built a sealed enclosure to go in the little compartment under my trunk. (There was never a spare tire in that spot) I've had great luck with JBL in the past, so when I had the idea for 2 8's in the floor of my trunk, I searched for JBL. These exceeded my expectations! I could not be more satisfied. They don't rattle my mirrors, but I'm kind of over that. But you can not beat the sound quality.
