subs you used in your truck?

ok guys, i have an alpine type r 10 with a 800 (500 actual watts) amp and it gets kinda loud. well i was thinkin of 2 more 10s or 12s for behind the seats. what ones have you used that fit well, any size im open to everything.

heres why i am wanting more for sure now. my 10 is enough it just doesnt hit low nuff for me. also, on the way home from my girlfriends house i stop at a gas station and get a bottle of pop or some sort of tobacco or whatever. so anyways, i always have my system on and truck runnin while im in there i have it up pretty loud and i got out of my truck tonight and saw a cop flyin into the parkin lot so i turned around and took like 5 steps back and shut my truck off so i didnt cause any more trouble. i walked in and the cop walked in behind me so i went and was lookin for a cigar and i heard the guy i shoot the shit with every night sayin something like "yeah big boys with thatloud music are pretty scared of getting in trouble, they go turn it off when they see a cop, they dont like them" to the cop then just to further piss me off he said "yes sir i was just getting ready to tell him to turn it off but he saw you and got scared" then gave the cop a free pop. i thought man, thats some bull shit. so now, i need more. im needin something that will hit decent with 3-400 watts. i dont wana overdo my electrical again, if you can member i have been down that road once before and dont want it again. so heres what im needin

- any size sub
- loud off of a little
- small depth

thanks -bf

i'm usin 2 12" Insignia's (best buy subs) with a 480 watt insignia amp, bridged...

its in my ex cab with my box that i built to 1.5 ft^3...

the other day i was driving through fred meyers parking lot and the cop walked up...

"want a ticket?" (i so wanted to say "WOW, your just giving them away?) and i was like for what?

he said for having an unreasonably loud stereo...

i was like its not loud...

he told me he had several complaints...

that it was a $200 fine...

i was like, i'll keep it down...

got around the corner and turned it back up...

i don't know about a system in a truck, but my 12 inch massive cw series with a d50x 500 watt digital amp pounds some serious bass.........i hit 136 db listening to rap on a hand held db meter. you can hear me a good block+ away, and it's all on your basic thin gauge amp wiring package.

the depth i guess is you main issue, as my subs magnet is pretty big.

i'll be banging 2 15'z and 4000+ watts in my truck.

look into getting the earthquake slim subs. only 3" tall from the bottom of the magnet to the top of the dome. pioneer makes them too but i quit dealing with pioneer after they screwed me over pretty good. i have heard the earthquakes before and they sound nice! i want a couple for my truck, one day. they make a 10" and a 12".

check this out on ebay...

I got a shallow mount pioneer 10" with a shallow sealed box man it pumps good i Have no complaints about it I also got dyno mat through out my cab too so there are no rattles out of all my friends with subs i got the cleanest sound and thats only 2 4" pioneers and 1 10" sub but it'll crank like no tomorrow

Eh, Pioneer blows the big ones when it comes to subwoofers. I would'nt get any Pioneer sub! Unless they came out with something outrageously nice. But thats a diff. story!

Personally, I would stick to only:

1.MTX
2. KICKER
3. ORION
4. ECLIPSE
5. JL

These subs are major punchful, and I'm sure you could find one that fits your truck. Just would'nt hit like a big timer!

Another one I would recommend, is Cerwin Vega! Mind you, we should'nt go there! It is rediiiiculoooouuusss..... That powerstroke 2 is craaazy...

Anyways, if you want punch, be very creative with your space! Guess it would be a good time to get into glassing now, huh?

look up digital designs, i have 2 15 inch 9515 series.better than mtx, and i can vouch for that.DD is on top of the game!!! DDaudio.com, or forum.soundpressure.com.

I dunno man,I just replaced my piece of crap no name sub with a 10" Pioneer and I love it! All my speakers are Pioneers too. Four 4"s, and two 6x9s,with the sub....all in a reg cab. It's pretty loud. Only a 400w Kenwood amp too.

Just be careful mounting a sub behind the driver's seat,because I let my best friend drive my truck and I was in the passenger seat and we had the stereo cranked the vibration through the seat was insane. Everything was going blurry,but I was getting a nice back massage,lol.

my old set up, 2- polk audio 10"s and 2- fusion 10"s, and 2-1,000 watt crunch amps.
