;7407951']you could probably put the 8s behind your seats' date=' either firing up or forward. they wil be MUCH louder then what you have now if you put them in a [b']proper enclosure[/b] and power them correctly

that is in fact a very nice amp, but would only be enough to power one of the DDs. i would sugguest getting a AQ 1200 or 2200, because you could probably fit 4 of those 8s (ive seen it done before) if you get 4 your gonna want around 2000w, and if you run a pair 1200ish should be good.

I googles them..where do I buy them?how big does the box need to be?are the loud loud?like I want to

be bassin it..I want something that when I drive by people will be like "**** all that bass is from that little truck!?!?"

you can buy them directly from DD for an outrageous price, or find them used on the forums, if your worried about price then go with the sundown SA-8s. not quite as high of power handling as the 1508s, but still very nice subs. I could see a 150+ with the right enclosure and enough power

Sorry bout all my replys stating the same thing I didt see there was a second page lol..I have a rf 1000bd will that suffice? I wouldent mind changing the sub brand but Im really tryin to stck with RF how big of a alternator am I gunna need?I had mine rewound an at the most I'm getton 130 amps out of it..and the sa8 would those be louder than the p3s?

that amp will be enough for 2 of them. and yes they will be much louder then any POS RF subs. the only new thing RF i would ever consider running would be their power series amps.

And if I go with 2 of either ones they will knock right?I want bass like as much as I can without spending a fourtune

I had the same problem with my regular cab truck with every combination behind the seat, from 15s to 12s to 10s to 8s. I FINALLY found the thundering deep bass I was looking for. I am using some subs from a home theater system. They are tall, thin ported boxes with 10 inch subs. I am also using an old Radio Shack 70 watt EQ amp. It's unbelieveable how deep the bass is. I have all the bass I need, and it's FINALLY below 40Hz....very DEEP bass.
