Looking for loud subs

[Dustano 10+ year member]

I have an Autotek Xs-1500.1 amp, 1500 watts @ 1 ohm and 2 12" Mtx 8000's. I am looking for some subs that will hit harder, but i do not have a lot of space, it is going behind the seat of a single cab silverado. I was thinking about 2 or 3 12'' subs, not quite sure yet. Any Suggestions?

Price range?

Well i was thinking about 12 L7's... around there

it seems like the more the price the larger the sub is, in most cases, and i need something with a low mounting depth around 6 1/2", (don't want the streering wheel too far in my crouch) i haven't found a sub that small that has been out of my price range

If you want louder why not just get another mtx 8000?

L7's would eat the K's up IMO.

In a single cab pickup? I think not.

and why not? didnt you see that match up they did. I think it was bumpinblazer. Unless that was just bs. I would put money on L7's vs. K's matchup.

The tester admitted that it wasn't all fair...

the XXX lost to the L7 and David (TeamPSI) promptly uncovered this fact.

Still, the L7 looks mighty impressive...but I would go for American build quality than Chinese...call me bias, but I still think that other countries (Europe excluded) cannot match American made speaker quality...

Try to fit 2 12" L7's in a single cab truck, have fun with trying to get them to sound any good.

L7's need a lot of room, more than any single cab truck can provide with both seats in.

Especially if you're porting them...you'd need at least 3 cuft per sub minimum, and 4 would be better.

well true but I kind of regret paying 400 for 1 sub. Just wish I would have went with 2 or 3 12's. But I still get great sound quality and get that jaw dropping factor of, dang you only have 1 12. But yeah USA is the best and there is no fighting about that.
