Just because you have 1000w at your disposal doesn't mean you have to actually use it...

I'm running ~900w RMS on 2 Polk 12's in my Ranger extended cab. I have to roll down the windows for the bass to really hit.

well. a high end sub with 1000 watts rms will definelty be loud

if you atent going to play it loud you might as well get less power and less of a sub, a 13w7 would still take a good sized enclosure to be in the cab of a truck, but anything is possible

I'm running 600w to my 2 rl-i 10"s and i can feel it just fine with the windows up.. There might be something wrong with your system.

Nope... there's nothing wrong with it. It's just a matter of air space. Yeah, it hits with the windows up, but not nearly as hard as with them down. Consider that I'm running bigger subs with more power. I've posted about this before and the general feeling is that subs hit louder in small spaces with the windows down.
