Replacing Mcintosh Sub Help

[peadya100]

Im upgrading the stereo and am removing the Mcintosh system completely.
Im looking to replace the sub with a slim line 8" sub. I was just going to run it as an open air sub like stock. Has anyone had any experience with this? Can it still sound ok without being in a sealed box? There is a pioneer sub thats designed for this use that ive had my eye on and I figured with some dynamat it might be ok???

There is a free air Polk audio sub that heaps of sedan guys have used to replace the stock one.. Where is it in a wagon??

Im not sure that polk one would fit in the wagon.. I think thered only be room for a slimline sub. Have any of the wagon owners out there tried to use a full depth sub?
