I was talking with my installer today and he likes the idea of 2- American Bass HD10's over 4- VFL8's on a Smart3K. They are going behind the seat of my Dodge stand cab. The box will have about 3.4 cubes after sub and port displacement. Any thoughts?
 
Really? Two 10's over 4 8's? Is it the motor and voice coil size? Because the 4-8's win the cone area battle.

It's just capability of 10's vs 8's. Spider size, voice coil size, Fs/low notes (easier, generality). Cone area matters, but there's a big difference between the capabilities of most 8's and HD 10's. HD's are one of the best woofers out there in it's class, maybe like the top 5 for it's design style, for it's overall power range. I'm just saying what I would do. I've installed many HD's. Love them. Owned 2 (if you consider the HDC3 is the same woofer). I'd take a HD over a 3510, for myself. At least back in the day when I had both.

These are the 8'S. 600 RMS.

Without better photos it's hard to really see anything. Based off of those it looks just fine. Grab a digital multimeter, set it to continuity...

Great amp. Ran on nothing lower than 13.9 volts ever. Adult owned and never abused. Looks: 8 of 10. A few scratches due to being used...
