A car subwoofer is often added into an car audio system to provide more bass. The subwoofer enclosure makes the most significant difference on how well your car subwoofer performs. The box is what defines the sound output of the car subwoofer, both in terms of quality and loudness. A sealed box will provide you with an flat frequency response, making the bass feel punchy and have an kick to it. This is why sealed boxes tend to be great for playing all types of music. Ported boxes of the other hand provider more loudness and depending on the port vent tuning frequency, more deeper bass. Depending on what they are tuned to, they often don't sound on all music apart from an certain genre. Prefab boxes are just cheap wood stapled together and carpeted over. They are a good solution to getting your car subwoofer playing if your on an budget or don't have the time to build an custom enclosure. However, they are poorly constructed in most cases and they leak lots of air. 

If you need to remove your car subwoofer to replace it, refresh the speaker wire inside the box or to change the ohm load, then this guide will help you. It's important that you remove the car subwoofer the correct way because incorrect removable can lead to an damaged speaker cone or speaker wires being pulled inside breaking the terminal connected found behind the speaker terminal cup.

The first thing you need to do is identify what type of screwdriver is required to remove the screws. Usually, in car audio it will be a Philips head screwdriver and there will be several screws around the speaker that you want to remove.

Put your thump over the rubber surround near the screw hole and remove each screw individually by turning the screwdriver anti clockwise. Placing your thump will protect the car subwoofer getting damaged if the screwdriver does slip. 

Once you have removed all screws, place them into a container or an plastic bag. Screws are easily misplaced when messing around and the last thing you want to do is waste 10 minutes finding them after or using mis matched screws.

Now carefully remove the car subwoofer from the box, go slowly remember don't pull the magnet part too far away from the box as it will snap the wires inside. Remove the spade connectors or push down the speaker terminals individually to release the car subwoofer connections. Now you can freely remove the car subwoofer from the enclosure without breaking anything.
