New Truck... Need Subs

[TrakDay 10+ year member]

Well I just bought a 2011 2500HD Denali Crew Cab truck and will be wanting some bass for it real soon. The truck design is new, but the rear seats seem similar to the 08-10 trucks. Anyways I think I will have about 6.5" of depth to work with and can squeeze .80-.95cu ft per side in a sealed box. I would really like 2 10s, I had 3 8s in my previous truck. Anyways what are my options?

I already have a Kicker ZX750.1 amp that I would prefer to use so I can save some cash... So I am looking for a pair of subs with less than 5.5" mounting depth that will sound good in a crew cab truck.

Budget for subs alone is $500, but I am not opposed to much cheaper options that will suit my needs. Also open to single sub options if it can sound real good in that size enclosure.

PS: The truck has the Upgraded Bose 5.1 system in it now... So the rest of the stereo is staying factory.

since you have a nice Kicker amp ... My suggestion would be to get a nice Kicker Sub ... I just don't care to mixmatch equipment ...

Make sure to ask around for a custom enclosure too ... a prefab box in a custom system just ain't cool ...

Again, just my suggestions. Nice ride ... Be sure to post alot of pics ... thanks, Randal ...

I really don't want to buy a new amp... So I am looking for something the zx750 can push nicely.

2 L7 8s should perform nicely ...

what about removing one of the seats and running a 15?

I think he's looking for more of a stealthy system ... I personally wouldn't do that to a new truck ...

a pair of original round Kicker Solo 12's would be sweet

Correct!

I was actually just looking at those as an option.
