Was wondering how would this sound in my truck on a aq 2200d i modified inside of my truck so i think i can fit it.

Also will it be able to handle the 2200d (new copper) and what is the minimum box size for this sub?

 
I took out bench seat have 2 bucket seats with nothing in the middle i think i can get the cubic feet just need to know if it will sound good? and no post dumping please?

 
If you can fit it, the 18 will do perfectly fine with a 2200. And in a single cab if you can get the proper box space, it should slam.

I'd rather save some space though and go with something like a single 10 or even 2. They will still get plenty loud in such a small area

Edit: And actually, the HDC3 10's are on sale now. 169$ a piece, DJ's giving them away for a steal. In a small area like a single cab, 2 10's can get very loud. Check out Thorshammer on here, he got 2 10's to do over a 150 if I remember correctly and that was out of a trunk. I'd personally rather suggest giving 2 10's the proper airspace without straining to make room then fit a big ol' 18 in there and it take up every last bit of space left.

This.

Friend of mine got a 146.3 TL in a single cab with (2) HDC3 10s and a AQ3500D. Stock electrical, gains on the AQ set with a DMM to only put out 1800w. Was loud and low as hell, even tuned to 38hz. However, was a tight squeeze and he had a full size GMC.

I would really suggest the 10s.

 
depends on how the box is built. I have 3.5 cuft in my dodge 1500 single cab and it takes up alot of room...thats why im going with a 12 and a better designed box for a truck.

 
5 cubes is too small anyway, even if he could fit it. 5 cubes ported is not actually a 5 cube box. after displacement, it'll be more like 6 cubes. if you could actually get 6 cubes (probably not), then you'd have enough room to seal it, but far short for porting it.

 
i love how 90% of you don't answer his question but instead tell him about what HIS vehicle will and will not have room for...

my 02 ram standard cab had 8 cubes behind the seats... some standard cabs have more room than your little cars.
