[QUOTE="Dluu12, post: 6013, member: 3081"] 1) Yes, the stock subwoofer was replaced with a Kicker sub. I bought it like that since I wanted to sell my B&O system complete with the box and sub (btw - it's still for sale if you know anyone interested). Picture below. Although I didn't do the conversion, it didn't seem hard to do with numerous forum instructions and videos out there.
