i haven't heard the re slim line or the stereo integrity, but i heard a cvt and it sounded like poo to me... i would go with 2-3 of the si bm's, like 3.5" mounting depth and supposedly they sound incredible

Only put three 12s if you have the airspace for that many. You'll be happier with a few 10s in the right box than 12s in a box too small for them.

I did 3 old round solo's and 3 Fi X 12"s in a Dodge ram, all sealed and the driver is a pretty big guy too. Not sure what the space difference is though. Just a thought.

I think that's a better idea. What is your goal...sound good, sound good and get loud, get loud while sounding decent? That will allow us to help you a little better. The Silverados have a good amount of room in them so you have a lot of flexibility over which driver to choose.

Edit: by room I mean available airspace, not necessarily mounting depth.

well i want to to get real loud and sound clean. i had a kicker 15L7 in my extra cab f-150. but i totaled the truck and sold my 15. so i want something that can get as loud as that., if not louder.

I used a 10'' Fi BL for a while in my reg cab ranger and it sounded nice and clean and accurate to me...and LOUD for a single 10''. If you have space for a pair of those ported and the electrical to support 2000 watts or more I think that would be a good route to go. They're only 6.25'' deep and they don't have a pole vent on the back of the motor so you can have them real close the the back of your box without any problems.

how much do those run? price wise?
