    Shallow mount vs 8 inch vs radical modification

    Alright, I can't get a video that does it justice at all so you'll just have to take my word that it's EXTREMELY loud. I'll see what I can do with a different phone tonight. Ported box at 3.0 cubes tuned to 30hz. It sticks out a couple inches but you don't notice it when sitting down. I mean I...

    Oh ****, didn't there'd be interest. Give me a few hours to finish work and I'll post some. I'll try to grab a video too.

    Shallow mount vs 8 inch vs radical modification

    Just an update: Ended up with 2 JL 10w7s. They sound absolutely unbelievable. Ported box tuned to 30hz. Makes my wipers jump. Anyone putting subs in a truck I HIGHLY recommend the 10w7 by JL, this **** HAMMERS and sounds fantastic as well. Hands down the best sounding system I've ever had and...

    Thanks, and yeah that's fair. I've pretty much made up my mind on what I'm going with. When I get it installed in a month or so I'll circle back, maybe post a few videos, etc.

    Sound deadening, dsp tuning, etc are all going into the build. Hell I'd put dynamat in the cab even if I wasn't getting a sound system. Budget was never really my constraint. Do high-end brands give *any* increase in performance? If so then it's worth it to me. I appreciate your advice, but I...

    Shallow mount vs 8 inch vs radical modification

    That all makes sense to me, except the 4 8s. I'm not looking for SPL, I'm looking for SQ while still having some knock. All the 8s I've listened to lately just do not get low enough. "Gangsta Rap Made me Do It" by Ice Cube is a great demo track for it. "It's All On Me" by Dr. Dre is another one...

    Shallow mount vs 8 inch vs radical modification

    I have 3.2 cuft unless solidworks is lying. Look maybe you're telling the truth, I don't know. All I know is the Morel Virtus 2-ways I had in 2014 sounded better than literally any car stereo I've heard in my life, and the Focal Flax 3-ways I plan on getting sounded just as good if not better...

    The 10w7s cost me $499 each

    The prices seem fair to me, care to explain?

    Shallow mount vs 8 inch vs radical modification

    Ended up getting 2 JL Audio 10w7 subs. They will be forward facing under the rear seat with a ported box. Installer can't schedule me for a few weeks but this is what I'm going with. I listened to a bunch of 8s and 6.5s. They sound good but they don't drop the low end out. Yeah, they can get...

    Shallow mount vs 8 inch vs radical modification

    A lot of the hiphop and electronica I listen to drops to 30. My buddy says I should just raise my rear seats and get two forward facing 10W7s instead of a bunch of 8s. Not sure what I'm going to do, I really really appreciate the comments in this thread though. I have about a month to plan it...

    I'll run whatever amps I need to. Is there some reason the SSA F8Ls are better than JL 8w7s or DD 2508s?

    Shallow mount vs 8 inch vs radical modification

    Thanks for all your input. I'm not removing my console enclosure; that's too much of a modification and I just don't want to do it. My installer recommended 2x JL Audio 12TW3s. His reasoning was that 8s won't play down to 30hz, which is what I need to hit if I'm going to enjoy my sound. I...

    Shallow mount vs 8 inch vs radical modification

    My vehicle is a 2022 F350 crew cab (the 4 door cab). I listen to everything from hiphop to prog rock to folk to audiobooks. I'm looking for subs that can really dig deep and hit those bone-shaking undertones while still being able to rumble and roar. I do not want my subs to bottom out before my...
