https://www.parts-express.com/pyramid-wx65x-6-1-2-white-poly-woofer--290-270?AID=14 I got this a couple months ago. Had good reviews especially for in a Jeep. Did not fit perfect, had to drill some mounting holes. It sounds good and was cheap.

I had the pyramid sub for a while. It does require some cutting inside the sub box to fit but for the money it wasn't bad. Mine lasted about 2 years until it started to collect mold. Know I run these..

But even if you had to replace the pyramid every 2 years $5 a year isn't bad.

These are great but I’m just strapped in the amount I can spend at the moment.
How does the pyramid sound?? Even something a more expensive will work just can’t drop 225+ on it like I would enjoy lol

I also have the pyramid. It was cheap and sounds great. The cutting that is needed inside the enclosure will never be seen so I hacked it up with my dremel and cutting wheel. Hardest part was getting the plug that goes to the console disconnected to remove the console.

Pyramid sounds no worse than the stock unit and maybe even a hair better. For $10 it's hard to complain too much.

I was in the same shoes as you when I bought the pyramid and changed the system up years later when I could justify the expense.

Sorry I did not take pictures during install.

It’s okay how hard was the install to swap? @kt99tj

Had it in my LJ now for a couple of years without issues. Also matches the OEM dual ohm requirement which is not as frequently found.

@Zaythedad Not hard. Instead of cutting away inside like some are mentioning. I used nuts as spacers and just mounted woofer out a little bit. Had to drill new mounting holes, they did not line up. Other than that it went easy, sounds good for a stock system and was cheap.

Here is a pic of that speaker mounted in the factory sub woofer box inside the center console. Easy to install with a little modification to original enclosure but well within the skills of most. I ended up powering this sub with a dedicated Kicker mono amp.. The sound is better than my ears are capable of hearing. TACH=full]105932[/ATTACH]

Working on this exact kicker sub install right now. Cut away a lot on the inside that may have been in the way, but it is still not "sitting down" all the way. Seems like the tight side (in the picture the bottom side of the speaker is much tighter to the plastic circumference than the top). Wondering if I should put spacers on that bottom side. Do you have anything between the speaker lip and the plastic space it is sitting in? Or is it just the speaker on the housing? - Thanks for any info - I know this is coming in way late, but figured you might remember what you did.

This worked good and sounds surprisingly good. Although I think there are some more cost effective options out there. Easy to install with the amp built in. I unplugged the bass remote and adjust via the deck, its much more predictable.
