Best sub for under the seat of an extended cab f150

[Chad21000]

I have a 1998 f150 extended cab looking to get 2 subs for under my back seat. I'm working with about 1.6 cu ft sealed. And a Max mounting depth of 5.25 inches. I've really been looking at kicker L7 8s, sundown ev3 8 or 10s. Or Alpine type r 8s. Any other suggestions would be great. Also I'm working with 1200 watts from a pioneer 9601.

Man everyone hates the EVLs what's up with that I prefer sundown sa over them but I've heard the EVLs they sound really good too

looks like the sd 10's will work in that airspace they do cost more but have shallow mount depth

actuallly there is no evl 8

They arent very linear sounding subs and they list horrible box specs. Their 18s need 10 cubes to sound proper while they list that they work in 4.5 cubes which is completely strangling them.

I'm looking to keep the the price around 250 for the pair. I'm really liking the sundown E3s. Especially for the cone area advantage

I'd start with a few 8's.....so how you like them. Sundown. Can't go wrong with Sundown.

What would be the advantages of sundown 8s vs 10s?

Just less cone area. It's been known that 8's have outhit 10's. It's all install dependant.
