I got the sun and sound package with the upgraded system in it and blew out the sub already was wondering if anyone else has done this?? Also anyone know the biggest sub you could put in the car it terms of wats? i am still going to put a 10" in it just wondering what i could go upto wat. wise.

No, because I know that you shouldn't crank it all the way up without a capacitor and a proper amp.

And you can put whatever wattage sub you want into the car, as long as you set the system up right. Make sure you get good amps, capacitors if needed, and if you go crazy, an extra battery.

What about the amp that is already in there?? What will that support i am not trying to spend to much on the stereo yet.

i used to install car audio systems for a living and my sub (possibly the amp) is blown, i am just going to take it in, i know i could fix it but thats what a "warranty" is for.

I don't know what kind of amp is pre-installed. Ask your dealership or look it up online. I know it's nothing too good though.

The dealership said they would not cover it for excessive use. I am going to take it in and get it tested out. I have a feeling they are not going to cover it though thats why i was wondering if the 600w amp is powering all the speakers or just the sub? if it is all the speakers what size sub should i get?

I highly doubt the amp is powering the speakers. Usually you get two seperate amps, one for the subs, one for the speakers. They aren't loud enough and the quality isn't high enough for them to be amped out.

And you should probably stick with another 10.

I blew my sub i took it in and just told them that it stopped working they ordered a new one (which took like 2 damn weeks to get there) then they put the new one is no questions asked no charge no nothing but a new sub im happy

I was going to stick with another 10" but i was wondering how many wattage i should stick with? if the amp is a 600w amp should i put in a 500w sub?? the one i took out said 75w/75w on the back of it where the magnet is. I don't mind spending a little money inorder to get a better sub as long as this new one won't blow out as easy as the last one.

Well, first off the TOTAL sound system is 600W, not just the sub. The other problem you are going to run into, is that the stock sub is a 150W DVC. I'm not sure is it is wired paralled or series, but each coil is 1.1 ohms. So IMO I would order another 10 inch 2 ohm DVC, and see how that goes.
