Sub reccomendations

[jwth2005 10+ year member]

Ok guys. I seem to have found the box i was looking for for my truck. Here is the link

http://www.supercrewsound.com/commerce/product.jsp?prodId=11&catId=56

I will be going with the 2 10s and the additional 5/8" option. My question here is what subs would you recommend for this box? With the mounting depth at 5 7/8" the options are kinda slim. I noticed the IDQ will fit and the depth on that is 5 3/4". Anyways i am a rock guy i like SQ with some volume.

The depth of the enclosure isn't the only thing that hinders your options. This enclosure is roughly .7 cubes BEFORE displacement, and that's pretty small.

Look into:

JL Audio 10W3v2

Polk Audio MM1040DVC

Kicker CVT104

Or you could look into 8" subs. You'll be opening up a hell of a lot more options if you decide to run 8" inch subs in that tiny little box.

I assume you know you'll be in the market for different amplifiers depending on the voice coil configuration of the subwoofers you choose...

Yea I am aware of the amp situation and I am ok with that. What kind of choices would I be looking at with 8" subs?

DD 1508, Soundsplinter Rl-i8's when they come out again, soundsplinter orphans, sundown E8, S8 and X8 (when the last two come out), IDQ 8, Kicker 8's, True bass 8's, old school rockford fosgate HX2 and HE 8's, AQ SD208 if you can find one, JL 8's, **** there's a lot of options....

There recommendation of the ID10v.3 would be good choice , you will have to pop the plastic cover off though, also if you could find the old IDQ10v.2's they sounded very nice in .5ft3.

This.

8" subs aren't bad by any means...

I have personally never owned a set of 8"s how Are they output wise?

If you buy high quality 8" subs, they'll surprise you. There's no shame in running them.

I imagine in a truck application they would probably seem larger than they are

There are 8" subs that yield exceptional output.

Check out the True Bass Solutions 8". There are two dealers on the forum. Here's a link where you can contact either of them: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=424997&highlight=introducing+true+bass+solutions

The DD 1508 is really nice too, or you can wait for the new Sundown models to hit the market. I think you'll be happy with any of these choices...

EDIT: I just remembered Audio Phil telling me that the TBS subs perform better in ported enclosures. If you contact him, be sure to ask about that...

What are the specs on a 1508 and how much would I be looking at

 

[misfit138 5,000+ posts]

DD 1500 series specs: http://www.ddaudio.com/dd/caraudio/09/woofer09_1500.asp

You'll have to contact DC directly for pricing and options...

Wow 500 watts!?!? That's a bit for an 8! It also doesn't mention anything about sealed enclosures

You'll have to contact them, bro. I'm sure they can answer any questions you may have.
