Audio experts out there- TJ Subwoofer replacement

I'm totally ignorant of audio/electronics etc, so I'm needing a little help on this one. Supposedly the stock sub is a 1 ohm speaker, but the ones that you would find at Bestbuy, etc. are 4 ohm speakers. Are there no 1 ohm speakers out there? Why is this stock speaker so rare and can't be found? Can someone help with this?

You're correct - I've never heard of a straight replacement for the stock sub. If you use a 4 ohm speaker in place of the stock 1 ohm one it won't sound as good (although it may sound better than a totally blown sub).

I think the most common route is to replace the stock sub and use an external amp (mounted underneath the front seat). You could also go for a sub mounted behind the rear seat.
