    Hello, my truck comes with the JBL system which also has the stock subwoofer behind the seat. My question is that if I can Take my two 10’ speakers and box and replace the stock sub behind the rear seat with them using the wires that are run to the stock sub? Would the amp that pushes the stock sub be big enough to push the two tens that I want To put in or would I need To upgrade the amp? TIA

    No, the JBL amp will not push two 10s properly.

    Shoe-horning aftermarket subs into the JBL system is not straight forward. The JBL amp is not going to work for the new subs and furthermore you can't just replace the JBL amp. It's the amp for every speaker in the truck, not just the sub.

    In general, it's all or nothing with the JBL system. Same as almost all premium OEM audio systems.
