I am going to weigh it... I bet it's well under a pound. The new sub weighs in at 16 lbs :-)

bahaha you will be disapointed. This is the biggest complaint i have with the car. Stupid bose stero sounds like garbage.
No highs no lows must be bose
im going to see if its easy enough to do this upgrade with the blose system. Please post pics when you get a chance!

I am presently rebuilding my A6 Premium Plus and your project is a definite possibility (especially for $250!)
So detail pics of those wires and access to the rear deck would be invaluable!
Thanks.

The Bose sub is no better unfortunately, barely audible at full bass and no separate sub control in the MMI. I have parts on the way, plan to do the install this weekend. Will keep the Bose sub and add a JL Audio in the trunk. (It is a company car so I need to keep mods to a minimum.). The Bose sub sits in the rear shelf just like the standard, so an open air sub like the OP put in should be a good solution as well.

OK - I put a writeup and some pics on the original post. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Did I mention it sounds amazing? :-)
The sub broke in a bit throughout the day and it sounds even better.

Loooks great! I was thinking of soing this type of upgrade. Can you please give us a basic parts list and where you purchased the equipment from. I can't seem to find the sub or the amp online on google.
Thanks

So i noticed in your write up on page one, you didnt mention a remote wire.
I havent installed car audio in years, but I always had to run a remote wire... usually to the Radio power, or did the "add-a-line" fuse to the existing ACC fuse
or do amps these days have auto on/off?
