Advisable to put 18s in xtended cab ranger?

[starvingf150 10+ year member]

I measured and figured about 13 cubes in an xtended ranger. I would like to upgrade a friends truck to 18s if possible and/or feasible. We will have a bit more than 2Kw to work with.

I was figuring SXs, TC9 configs, or BLs. And around $500 or less for subs. May go used and get recones in the right case.

I also want to face the subs foward near floor behind seats for resistance and the port up to ceiling.

Any suggestions on choosing the right config for this install is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

thats what were contemplating doing in my friends ranger... a single 18 is the way to go.... we were contemplating using one of my 9917s in there.... its for sale because he didnt have the cash to buy it 750+ shiping on it

2 18" BL/Qs would seem great in there

2 18" Qs would be pretty sweet... Ported if you can fit, but they still sound great and get loud sealed.

I think a pair of 15s would be the loudest in there

no one asked you 18s ftw

Well he actually asked everyone, but ok if he wants 18s that bad then pick up a BTL 18.

I had a ported 18"SX in my ext. cab but my ported 2 15" Q's blow it away.

exactly why I said 2 15s would be louder!

Why is 2 15s or 1 18 the loudest?

I thought I had enough volume and power for 2 18s...

Ill take your word(s) for it though. I just want to get the best bang for the buck.

I wasn't thinking super subs you know. Just 1Kw rms.

I hope it will be loud as f---.

well Audioque Hd3 15s would be LOUD off 1k each in a truck hands down.

1 really good 18 will be louder than 2 mediocre 15s if you know what your doing

how bout 2 18" RLPs? If their anything like the 12's or 15s then 1000 per & 13cubes should do the job.

He did say less than 500 bucks. Maybe 2 ssd 18s would fit the bill.
