[QUOTE="junocdx, post: 260666, member: 546770"] I've been looking into some nice 8" subs lately. I'm in a regular cab pickup, so I'm pretty pressed for space. I have like 2.5 cubes to work with, with the biggest box that I can comfortably fit. I'd like to fit maybe 3 or 4 8" subs, and port them. I've been hearing a bit about 6.5" subs and stuff lately... but havn't gotten to look at anything yet. If anyone would list some good subs for me to check out.. thats what Im needing. I'm looking 8 or smaller, that can handle some abuse. I'm more worried about SQ than the SPL, but I want to get pretty dang loud too, so I can embarrass all my friends with their crappy setups.
