[QUOTE="Parker22, post: 8178796, member: 578759"] I haven't posted on here in probably 5-7 years. I used to really be into bass and went through 4 systems back when I had a Ford Explorer. I since got a extended cab F-250 and decided I could not build a system that would be loud enough for my liking so I basically gave up on the bass hobby. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love it, but life got in the way as I needed a truck for work. My question is: is the hobby of bass and loud systems dying? In the last few years I can say that I NEVER hear bass anymore. I can't even think of the last time I heard a good system, or someones trunk/hatch rattling for that matter. Has anyone else noticed this? On a lighter note, what would someone recommend for a extended cab 08 F-250? (smaller in rear than a 09+ f-150) it is a "60/40" split and I would prefer to keep the "60" down and in use. Could I get good deep sound out of a pretty small ported box with a 8-10" sub? Or would I just be disappointed? Smallest system I had was a 10" w7 in a 1.6 cube ported box.... When I "quit" the hobby I was running 2 15's in a big ported box and it was loud as **** in the explorer... [/QUOTE]
