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.

Now with this said, I would do 3 10's sealed. Depending on your budget, you really have a lot of options. Another thing you could probably fit is 4 8's ported. That would really thump. I've also seen many trucks with 2 12's sealed in them.

Just let us know which you would prefer, and we can give you more suggestions.

I just helped a buddy put 2 12in Type R's in a ford reg cab it beats nicley //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifgood suggestion.

i think he has an IA 20.1 wired down to .5 I believe, but has the electrical system behind it to keep it strong.

yeah. i think his alt just died on him tho, link to his name is above send him a pm.

I really want a15 btl fully loaded...but i dont think its possible. But anyother suggestions are really appriciated. Don't want to go the route of multiple 10's or 8's.

Welcome to my world.......the biggest I would go is 1 12" ported you can do it so that only the passenger has their knees in the dash......I'm planning on doing a single 10" sealed under the center console. I had 2 10" but the box wasnt custom and it was terrible on my knees. I'm sure 2 8's would fit fine with no lose of leg room and you may be able to get 2 10's sealed to work out. If you want boom I suggest one 12" ported......fiberglass would be another option. So far I have had 2 10's sealed and then 1 12" sealed then I ported it.

The biggest system I have seen in a f-150 reg. cab with no cabin modifications was 2 12" kicker l7's. I asked the guy if he losed room and if the box was even ig enough. He told me that he lost prety much all leg room and that the box was way too small for those sub....and this was all fiberglass.

Even 3 10's is not as easy as you think. Anything box that is more than about 30" wide(3 10's ) 5 inches deep and 10" tall(assuming this box is made for 10's) you will still either be losing leg room or have to ride with the seat so straight ittl feel like its leaning forward

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.
