Hi all,
Recently replaced all door speakers in my VE SS with 3 way Sony's, and have now been looking for some 8" free air subs to install in the rear parcel shelf in the OEM holes where the SSV subs are installed. I'm not into huge noise or sound offs so don’t want spend huge money, and don’t want to take up boot space, hence using the original holes, but I’ve been struggling to find anything for under $500 a pair for 8" subs. Out of simple curiosity I called Holden to get a price on the original subs, and to my absolute surprise was told they were $41 each. After I hung up I actually called back and spoke to another sales rep and confirmed that they were in fact $41. Now I know they are going to be no comparison to an aftermarket sub but for the fact they drop straight in and are only $80 it seems a fair solution. Are they going to make a difference or am I simply wasting my time?
P.S. makes me wonder what the OEM amp is worth as well.
