all right i have space for 3 maybe 4 8"s in my truck, currently have 3 8w3's but im wondering if i can get louder. Mounting depth is the only real issue cause its limited to about 5" maybe be able to get a little more than that, any suggestions on some louder 8"s, have a jl 500/1 atm but can upgrade that if needed.

 
you could allways do what i did.

take out the seat and then you wouldnt have to worry about what would fit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
haha its a double cab Tundra, mounting the subs under the rear seats in those compartments. thats why the mounting depth is about 5".. 10"s wont fit because of how wide the compartment is... unless i hammer it out which is always an option.

i could fit 3 8" L5 or L7's have to check the airspace for those again. i wanted the RLi8 but its a 6" mounting depth so i would have to really modify the compartments and probably weld an addition onto the bottom.

 
I say Rl-i 8" or TC1000 8".

2 RLi8's would be awesome but how much airspace would they need? more than i have i bet, and i would have to modify the compartment to be able to mount them, cant port 2 unless i modify the box also.... by modify i mean Cut and weld which, i dont really want to have to do.

Smaller than you would think.

.2 ft^3 sealed will work per woofer. Ive seen behind the seats and i know for a fact that my Rl-i 8 would fot back there ported, even 2 of them.

If you need to squeeze more room out of your truck you can step down to some 5/8" MDF and it shouldnt be a problem
