[QUOTE="t1n0m3n, post: 6765060, member: 553573"] "they sound great to me" In the end, that is all that matters. Back in 97/98 timeframe, I had a single ported 12" Soundstream SPL (SS12 was the model I think) behind the seat in my '95 Dodge Ram regular cab. It sounded great, and I was able to get it to only use up about 1/2 the space behind the seat. Now days, if you pick the right 8" or 10", you can have crazy bass. Given that you just want to have a bit of kick, I suggest finding a good 10" for a sealed enclosure. Since you will be making the box, sealed boxes are easier to get "sounding right." Although if you are a good box builder, you can get more volume out of a ported box. If you intend on running lower power, I suggest finding a highly efficient sub. Also, where do you want to place the amp for the subs / door speakers? 1. Select the sub 2. Select the amp(s) 3. Build the box to the sub's specs. 4. Hook it all up Find something you like and post it up here, maybe we can give suggestions on how to get the most bang for your buck. I am sure that the guys here can come up with some good / cheap solutions. [/QUOTE]
