Hey Guys,
I have a STD Cab 1993 F150 and i'm trying to put together a decent sound system. I already installed a new HU
(JVC KD-SH1000) and new speakers
(Front Pioneer TS-D1602R) (Back TS-D6802R) are on the way. I hear these speakers will sound very good without an amp so i'm not too worried about them. However, i would like a subwoofer behind the seat.
As i'm sure you know, i have hardly any space to spare. I love bass, but i'm not a guy who is "ok" with having his knees stuck to the dash so i need something compact that still packs a punch. I've been looking at shallow mount subwoofers by various brands but i get mixed opinions on those. I would like to stick with Pioneer, but i wouldn't mind going for something else. It doesn't have to be "shallow" either, as long as it fits behind the seat. I've been working with the
RE Enclosure Calculator a bit and i came up with the following numbers; 35, 15, 5, 8, 0.75, 2, 8. Now, i dont know if that's a "good" box or not, but it'll fit behind the seat easily and
i think it'll hold 2 woofers, whether they're 8" or 10". But, 2 isn't necessary...i'll go for 1 12" woofer if it would be better, as long as it fits.
Now, like i said i love bass but i dont want my truck to rattle like a sob. I want to keep it to myself, rather than have the entire block know about my subwoofer. I've looked at several powered subwoofer "drop in" solutions like the
Blaupunkt THB2008 &
THB 210A and the
MTX Thunderlink.
Basically, i need help! I dont know what's the best bang for the buck with all these brands. I have about $300/$400 to spend on the Sub/Amp combination so i'm kinda asking you guys to put something together for me. Whether it's powered or not, it doesn't matter.
Thanks for reading through my story, and thanks in advance for any help ya'll are willing to give me.
