Ok here is all what i had and ill give a description of each:

1990 F150 extended cab: I had 3 JL Audio 10's in it on a Sony 1000w amp with a Sony headunit and it sounded alright, not quite hard enough for how i like it. That is with no back seat.

1992 GMC Sierra single cab: I had 2 Punch HE 12's in it on a Rockford Fosgate punch 700s amp with a JVC headunit. Sounded great! Nice deep bass.

1997 Dodge Dakota single cab: I cut the wall out and put 4 Kicker comp CVR 10's in it on the same punch 700s amp. Hit hard but not clear because of so much vibration and it would rattle way too much.

2001 mustang GT. I have 1 Kicker Comp CVR 12 in it on that same punch 700s amp. Sounds great, nice tone and extremely clear. I also have an Alpine IVA-W200 headunit and that improved it tremendously. I had 2 12's in it and it hit much harder and still just as clear.

I say get 2 12's since they do carry and sound the best IMO. A 15" sub is just way too big for street bass.

Well I run 4 Elemental Designs 8" subs in a 2.0 ft^3 sealed enclsoure. Each sub is seeing about 300rms from a Elemental Designs Nine.1. I run my mids off a Nine.4 and as for a headunit I have a Alpine 9855.

Depends on your music really, faster song's need smaller subs. They can keep up with the beat better than say a 12 or 15 can. You can't go wrong with JL Audio, or Kicker, but Rockford Fosgate and Alpine are some other options as well.

in my s-10 i have a 12" rockford p2 and a 800w ropckford amp. perfect for me. i have a smaller rockford amp that i might put in there though

awsome replys guys i was thinkin pry 1 or 2, 10 inchers JL or Kicker ??? dono about the amp tho? wat should i expect to pay like $350

i was wondering bout the muliple 8 inchers is that a cheaper way at things or is it just a personal choice?

thanks again

i have 2 10 inch JL audio with a kicker amp....

i think that would suit you nicely!

is it quad cab or extended cab??

i built a fiberglass enclosure / console for my HD truck to go between the two rear bucket seats. audiobahn immortal 1500w RMS amp, class d mono 1500w RMS amp, the box is exact specs the manufacture requires for this speaker... i was going to go with a sealed box but since that voids the warranty on this SPL comp. speaker i did the recomended port ( 8.5" L x 3" W) the sub is crazy loud for being just a 10" pulled 125dB after the install without tweaking the amp any yet

[yamaha250f]

i built a fiberglass box with 3 infinity kappa perfect 12s with a sony 1200 wat amp, infinity kappa perfect speakers throughout the doors and a infinity 7 inch flat screen up front, a 1.0 farad fosgate cap and a equalizer sounds great hits hard and gets pretty loud at times deff shakes the truck i have all the dynamat to do the doors but i havent had time to put it in yet

[shano]

I got a single 10'' kenwood in small sealed box with a 450watt kendwood amp, pionner speakers and pioneer deck. It goes pretty good in my lil cavalier.

[R3b3lx]

crystal comp 10's....UNREAL sound and deffinition...youd think the 10's were 12's, and youd think the 12's were 15's...if you have one....youd think you have 2 of em. best subs in the world IMO.

how does that immortal sound just riding around? Is it good for streetbeat? I thought about getting an immortal 12

it sounds good i read a lot of pros and cons on the sub but it works and sounds great. it's a heavy sub though it's about 40lbs for the 10"

i heard they are heavy, i didnt know if they would be good for some streetbeat. Im getting 2 Alpine type R 12's for my car next week. I hope they sound good!

that's cool. my truck's in the shop now getting the front bumper and a scratch painted and a new rear bumper... i may end up trying to find a buyer for it though.... i love the truck but dont really need it... i'm thinking about getting something more down to earth and picking up a 07 raptor se. so know anyone wanting to buy a 03 supercharged harley truck for $25k let me know kbb is closer to 28-30ish but i'd take around payoff if i sold it

type R is underrated. They sound great with the right box and amp.

I'm running 2 10" Crossfire subs in a custom sealed box right now. They sound pretty good with other amps but my current amp sucks.

[Honda_7x]

if your looking for a custom pre fitted box, amps, subs, accessories the i would say check http://www.supercrewsound.com/shop/cat/58.htm

thats where im getting my box, but im only getting 1 10in JLaudio because it bumps and i also dont have much room.

they fit under the seats, just look for you truck.

very reasonable prices too

[Honda_7x]

awsome thanks

[jesshamner]

That's a great website! Seems like reasonable prices.

I was going to mention that you should probably go with the down firing enclosures. They sound the best.

And remember, ported boxes for long sustained bass and sealed boxes for a tight thump.
