I just got off the phone with the guy that is going to build my box and supposedly he is a nationaly known figure. His name is David Goodwin and i've been talking to him about what i want to do and things and he says that it will be hard for me to achieve the mid to high 140's in db's in my 03 reg cab f-150. He says that its just really hard in a truck b/c they dont reproduce as well as like an SUV. He also told me that i could probably get louder with 2 10's and a big ported box then the 2 12's and a ported box thats not as big. I also told him that i want to use the Soundsplinter RL-p's and he said he's never heard of them. He wants me to do like a mid class Digital Designs sub like the 9100 line probably. He said that the 2 12's wont sound that good in this truck. So i dont know what to think or what to do. He said he can get me a better deal then the like $450 that i would pay for 2 12" SS RL-p's on some DD's but everyone says their doing like 145db's with 2 12" Soundsplinters. Should i stick with the SS RL-p's or what? Help guys Thanks

ummm lol i dunno, but all i konw that DD is SPL oriented while RL-Ps are SQL oriented. And about not know who SS is, i wouldnt worry too much about that, heck even Jeff Coleman (ex rep for Earthquake, now USAMPS) hasnt heard about SS until i told him, and there have been enuf testimonys about the RL-Ps to know that it an awesome sub.

2 12's might have an advantage due to cone area alone. and be sure to port them

Anyone have any advice for me? I like what everyone is saying about these S.S.'s and i really want to get them but the guy is telling me that 2 10's would beat harder than 2 12's because you could give them more ft^3 and they would be more proper for the box and stuff. I mean i dont see why 2 12's ported in a truck wouldnt sound perfectly fine but i just want other opinions. Thanks
