Looking for a good sub set up.

[puckhead]

I know it has been talked about a ton but I am going to ask again I am used to having big bass in the back but these days I am needing more room for the dog and my other stuff. But I miss my bass and want a little back. I dont want to give up too much room though. And I still want to be able to lay my seats flat. I have thought about replacing the stock sub with aftermarket but dont know if that will be enough.

So I am thinking of a single 10 (2 10's maybe???) maybe 12 in a box with the amp hooked to the box so I can have everything on quick connects or something so I can move it in and out real easy.

Anyone have a good set up with a bit of thump? Nothing too fancy but not the Best Buy special. Thanks fellas!

Really depends on what you like to listen to. You won't be happy with replacing the stock sub coming from 2 15's trust me, I would do 1 12" sub of your choice over 600 watts to keep the bump but leave room for rover

A box like this would be perfect

Thanks Nico! That was just the advice I was looking for. I know what kind of amps are needed for the big stuff but not the smaller stuff. A 600 watt amp and a 12 in a box sounds perfect. Nice looking box too, thanks for the link.

Any preference on brand? Oh and I usually listen to rap/hip hop.

JL Audio if you can

This is a strong Alpine

Fosgate's new P3's sound beautiful

Lot's of other brands and choices of course but I've had experience with these so I know they sound good for Rap/Hip Hop

 

[puckhead]

Thanks a ton! I have heard good things about all of those. I take it you have JL's?

Not anymore but I was rockin' 2 13w7's in the hoe, best sounding setup I have ever had. Rap/Hip Hop and Dubstep sounded insane but yeah JL has amazing SQ and SPL

i have 2 BNIB sundown audio E8's. version 2 model and they are rated @200rms but can easily take more. for future reference they can be reconed if blown instead of thrown away. they are small with beefy motors(magnets) so they wont take up too much space.
$175 shipped

the best for size restrictions is from JL audio in the new W5's..its a 13 in woofer that is only like 3 in deep and doesnt need hardly any airspace...i believe it needs like 600W RMS for proper power options but can run it on something as low as a JL 250x1...if it was me i would get one W5 and a JL 500x1 and build a slim down-firing ported box with the port aimed at the back of your truck...these woofers are so small its wonderful..I have 2 behind the back seat of my F250 and they are louder than the 2 12w3's i have in my Tahoe...just my 2c's
