Yes....if you can find one that matches the stock sub's impedance; works in the same size enclosure; and has a high sensitivity rating. Even then any benefit would be marginal. The limiting factors are output power of the factory amp, crossover point and any auto-EQ circuit.

If you think the factory setup is "one of the worst sounding systems I have ever heard as far as bass" then an aftermarket amp and sub combo is the only way to go to give you what you're looking for.
