Louder system for a truck? (K1500)

[yo scotti 10+ year member]

Currently I'm driving a 1995 Chevy K1500 Ext. Cab and as some of you may know there is not much space under the backseats. As of now I have two Kicker 10" CVX powered by a Kicker KX1200.1, but I want something louder. I previously had two 12" Kicker CompVR which are 6 in. and 3/16 and that was pushing it for the space I had to deal with.

Anyway, what I'm getting at is that I want a louder set-up without taking out my back seat. Does anyone know of some subs that would be louder than two 10" CompVX that are under 6 and 3/16" mounting depth? The brand, RMS, and diameter doesn't matter, I can get a new box or amp to accomodate.

Thanks.

**** thats a bad *** system, but i'm not lookin to modify the truck in anyway.

i was lookin more for louder subs than what i got with the same mounting depth or smaller.

I really dont think it's going to happen, Cmop VX's are real strong subs from what I hear

You could always try upping the power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif lol, then again you might just blow them in half though if you went to a 2500.1

Sweet. Does anyone know where I can get a square version of this box for Kicker L7 12s, or would two 12" Kicker CVXs sound better since it's sealed?

Or a different brand all together? Any 12" subs less than 7.5in mounting depth that would be louder than the 12" Kicker CVXs?

Get a 2500.1. The new l7s/cvx's can handle massive amounts of power, and with your box being sealed im sure they would do just fine.

raise the seat a little bit and go ported. i have tried probably 5-6 different box designs in my truck(05 silverado ext cab), and i am finally happy with it. try a new enclosure first, then if you still arent happy, then look into new gear, but in these trucks, install is key.

i have the same truck. and i found that having speakers under the seat can only go so far.. i had that exact same box in that link.. i then took the seat out for now and put a L7 in:yumyum: the cvx and L7s are both good drivers, u just need more space than under the seat if u really wantit loud

^^^^its only going to go so far because of the box design you have. i have two tens ported under the rear seat and i have problems with the roof flexing like crazy.

i'm tempted to take out the backseat and put in two L7 15s, but i really want to keep my install stealth and keep my backseat

i guarantee with the right box under that seat and with the right amount of power, you will be happy, my roof flexes like crazy in my truck.
