2 10's or Single 12 in this box? BOX picture inside

[ChaseBimmer 10+ year member]

Ok I know I've been asking a lot of questions but here it is:

Box is being built for a 2004 regular cab Silverado.

I am looking at 2 10" Fi Q's, one single Fi BL or Fi Q, two 12" Type R's, one single 12" DD?

I am having my friend build my a ported box that will be 52" wide, 25" tall, and will range from 12" deep at the bottom (mounting depth) to as shallow as 7.5" near the top.

The reason I have to build the box like this is becuase I do not want to take out the middle portion of my bench, which doesn't fold.

In the middle, the portion thats labeled "7 deep" that is the part that must be made shallow to fit perfect to the back of the "center console". It should net around 2.5cu ft.

What subs will work best in this type of enclosure? I have enough power to throw out 2000w rms, just need to pick the subs. Any help is appreciated!

I'd go two Qs or a 12" BL.

I was also thinking about trying to stuff just two 1.5 cu. ft boxed behind each seat.. Don't know if that will be best though considering I want them ported.

Would you reccomend two 10" Q's or 2 12" Q's and have you owned them?

If you're porting, 2.5ft^3 wouldn't work well with two 12" Qs, it'd be just about perfect for two 10"s though. And no, I haven't owned either.

Only thing is I REALLY would like to try and run 12's, I just like the way the sound over 10's. But thanks for the advice! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You might try one 12" Q ported. But IIRC, the Kicker CVX did just as good as the Q in the Great 12" Challenge some of the users did here, and it's about $100 cheaper.

Kicker CompVX

I'll see if I can find the link to that great 12" challenge thing for you.

EDIT:

Fi Q Great 12" Challenge

Kicker CVX Great 12" Challenge

They appear to be quite similar, but note that the kicker is being run @ 1000w, the RMS spec for music is only 750. IMO, a single ported Q would be your best bet, but you could fit two sealed 12" Qs in that box, but remember that you'd need twice the power. Two ported 10"s would also suffice, but once again, that's 2000 clean watts.
