If your looking to upgrade the factory subwoofer in a 2000-2006 Chevy Tahoe (GMT800) this post maybe helpful. Getting to the factory sub is fairly easy and goes as followed...
The sub is located behind the rear panel on the driver side of the vehicle.
First remove the bottom trim, it is held in place with just clips.
Then remove the upper trim, also held in place with just clips.
After that, remove the plastic push in retainer/clip.
Then unscrew (counterclockwise) the plastic knob located right above the plastic push in clip.
You are now almost to the sub. The panel secured to the driver side rear pillar must be removed, once again this panel is held in place with just clips.
You should now be able to unclip the lower panel and access the factory subwoofer.
The factory sub is 8 inches wide, with a depth of about 3 inches. It is a 2 ohm sub.
The factory enclosure should support a sub with a depth of about 4 inches, anything over that will be cutting it close depending on the design of the sub. I am not sure what factory enclosures internal volume is unfortunately, but I couldn't imagine it being more than .5 cubic feet . The wires ran inside the sub can be found coming out on the top left corner of the enclosure. I powered this sub with a small aftermarket mono block amp with an output of (200W RMS @ 4 Ohms)
This JBL fits perfect and actually sounds really good for just a single 8 inch sub, I was impressed!
You will need some different screws to mount this sub.
