[QUOTE="slater, post: 8922851, member: 691295"] Ok, im here.....;) You can use full size subs if you use the fox box... If you scroll to the bottom of the page, they have theyre recommended subs that work best with their box. Theres some SQ guys over on the DIY forum that have used these & have nothing but good things to say about them. The box I think comes with a 5/8 spacer lift for the rear seat, not a big deal. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.foxacoustics.com/collections/chevy-gmc-regular-cab/products/2007-2020-gm-crew-cab-2-10-vented[/URL] You want a a box to run shallow subs, lots of options too... These are 3/4" construction too [URL unfurl="true"]https://soundskinsglobal.com/collections/gm[/URL] Looking at your previous post & your history. Dont think you will be happy with a low budget sub woofer.... The 2 big hitters from my experience. The JLTW3 12's & the HERTZ MPS Shallows. The Hertz can handle more power on paper than JL. I have 2 Hertz MPS 250 10's in my sons single cab ranger & it does really well! Ok now, the big hitter when it comes to custom boxes for the f150 & the 1500 MTI Acoustics. They have stage 1, 2, 3, 4 boxes.... Functionally & performance stage 1 is just as good as the 4, the only difference is the aesthetics so if it going under the seat , Its a work truck, go with a stage one. Browse the website, they custom build the box to optimize the airspace on the sub you select When it comes to shallow subs Jim Skaggs #1 pick is the JL TW3, Then the Hertz.... Not sure if I agree with him, but never compared sounds of the 2 brands, in the same application, in the same box & same amp... The mti boxes are legit, 3/4" mdf. Link for MTI [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.mtiacoustics.net/chevy.html#!/Stage-1-Enclosure/c/76063028[/URL] You want a cheap box, see what SKARR has to offer.... The 2 12" Prodigys I have a doing good but cant say its anything crazy. That being said, I reached out to my installer last week as when he did my install on my f150 & the dsp tune. He tried to turn-off the factor EQ curve in the factory radio using forescan but for whatever reason, the software locked him from making changes. The factory eq curve takes out bass so you dont blow factory speakers. The dsp compensates for that, but think theres ALOT of room for improvement. The bass sounds thin unless I have the bass control knob cranked, then its kind of out of balance. Im nit picking, it sounds good, but I want better. So hopefully in the next few weeks, he will tell me to come-in & lets try again. Ok, thats all I got, but its a start, find a box first, then decide on subs. Down firing Im glad I went 2 12's The fox box being ported, & full size 10"s, may sound phenomenal, not sure.... fox box may also make a sealed option for your truck, you need to dig further.
