Downward firing subwoofer


I have a downward firing box with 1 sub & 1 passive sub. Can I remove the passive sub and put an actual sub, or will this cause issues as far as clarity.

Think of the passive radiator as an alternative to a port.

The passive radiator and driver work together with the volume of the cabinet.  It's a system and you should not attempt to alter without a proper understanding (aka speaker analysis) of where you are starting and where you are going. 

If you are getting an itch to DIY, you'd be better off building a  new subwoofer from a kit. :) Lots of good options at Parts Express.
