Larger Cone Undersized Box Vs Smaller Cone Recommended Volume

[2016Silverado]

I own a 2016 Chevy Silverado DoubleCab. I am planning a full install at the highest sound quality. SPL doesn't matter too much because I'm not a bass head and the cab is SUPER quiet. I want to build a box that fits underneath the rear bench and I want to use my small kenwood 60wx2 RMS amp that i already own. I've figured I could fit two Tang Band 6.5" facing forward; or I could fit two 10" Dayton subwoofers downfiring but the box would be way undersized. Which way is better for sound quality?

Assuming you're doing low power sealed box I think "too small" isn't going to be so much of a deal breaker for you. Why not just 1 10" if you're tight on space though? Sounds to me like that'll be plenty for you.

One 10 is better than two 6.5s in cone area.
