I'm building a system for an f150 supercrew. Im trying to decide between 10s or 8s. I like the idea of using 8s but my concern is most of them are only rated to 250w rms so 750w rms power doesn't seem like much.

My plan was to use something like a Kicker 2000w rms mono amp with something like two 10" JL w7s. But if I used this amp with 8" subs it would have way too much power.

So my question is are there subs I can used with a 2000rms amp? Or, would three 8s with a smaller 1000w rms amp be more then enough for subs.
 
Have you already chosen the enclosure manufacturer? Fox acoustics? He offers 1 single 10” and dual 10” vented. Also offers 10”-8” adapters, find some decent 8s that fit depth wise and that’d give them 2.05cf total minus displacement

Yeah, put the probes on the power wire and ground wire of the amplifier. Multimeter on DC. Do not put it on the wires that go to your speakers. M
