Anyone have this setup

He seems pretty grateful overall and seems to be moving on with the fact that it's not the vehicle he "wants". There's really nothing he has to prove here. Get a car bought for you, move on, and install a system.
This isn't a parenting forum.

My post wasn't meant to sound self-righteous. Apologies if it did.

It just seems that if your Pops is opposed to you putting gear in the Tahoe he's gonna feel just as stongly about the truck, especially if he thinks you went behind his back.

I don't know if it's a realistic option for you, but I think most parents would respect you wanting to do it your way & taking responsibility for it.

I say put 1 - 12" BTL or whatever that new FI sub is that is coming out which is pretty much a daily BTL and would be perfect match with that amp.

If you want to do a 12" sub I would recomend building your box like so. Have the woofer mounted in the middle of the seat in a square box that fits into the space. This part of the box alone will not be big enough. You will need to extend the box on both sides but the extension will need to be smaller then the middle part so that the 2 seats are not restricted by the box.

well since the cab is smaller, you need less sub to make it loud. you are basically sitting on the woofer. even one 10 sealed can probably get pretty loud.

The thing is he cant tell me what to do with my money so when he figured out I wanted to put a system in, he's just going to buy me a truck to where it's pretty much impossible. There will be no going behind any backs.

My thoughts exactly but I want to run my amp to it. I have 2500 watts why not use it if possible?? So I'm pretty sure I could get a box builder I know to fit a ported 10 in there possible a ported 12, but the question is which sub can handle this kind of power?

I had 4 12"s in an f150 reg cab... you can be plenty retarded with a regular cab.. dont worry about that:naughty:

but putting a big system in a vehicle that your parents are buying for you... after they told you not to is probably something you'll regret.... but at least youll have fun in the process

Forgiveness is usually a little bit easier to get than permission

He cant tell you what to do with your money, but he can tell you what to do with his truck. Remember, it's not yours till it's fully in your name. I think 1 12" BTL ported would be the best way to go with the amp you have. It can be done, and theres more room behind that seat than you think.

Or get really crazy & fill the bed with 15's or 18's and build a pass-thru to the cab.
