[flatline 10+ year member]

I'd liek to put ONE big *** brahma into my ford f - 150 single cab. The biggest one they make, Im new to car audio, are these subs good? bad, how's the SQ, SPL? Are they worth their price tag? Do they come in different models, which one would be the best, and what kind of amp should i be runin to it? Thanks.

I think the biggest they make is a 15 (18 is in the works according to the website) and according to people who have them this sub is a monster. I havent heard one personally, but according to their specs and word of mouth they are worth every penny...but dont take my word for it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Anything from 800-1600 will be good. JBL 1200.1, RE 35-1D, Directed, crossfire, soundstream, there are so many **** amps!!

will i be able to fit a 15 inch brahma in a box so it can fit i nthe f - 150 single cabb truck? or will i need to go with the 12''?

I don't know the mounting depth of a brahma 15 but I'll bet it's close to the same as my hcca 15 and sorry to be the one to tell you this, but unless you plan on building the box in the bed and porting it into the cab your not gonna be able to use "The biggest one they make"

Can you build a custom center console....and have bucket seats?

that's what i wanted to do, have a nice sub inbetween the 2 seats and take out the armrest and install a sweet box

 

[RMKrider1 10+ year member]

What year is your truck? And like ss said does it have bucket or bench seats? I have a '92 ford reg. cab and I had to move my seat up and drive uncomfortablely (sp?) to fit a hcca 10 behind the seat (bench seat)

you should be able to squeeze 2 10" in there, one behind each seat. I'm not sure about the quality of MTX's thunderforms, but if you can get one un-loaded and put the Brahma's in there..it's made to fit the single cab F-150. Although, that'd be pricey.

Then there ya go!

That would be sweet man....use all of the airspace behind the seats, and most of it from the console, and invert mount the sub right between the two seats so the magnet sticks out just a little bit, like to the edge of the seats - if you know what I mean...and then the amps can go right in front of that...

I dont know if you know what I am saying or not, but its practical and looks nice.
