Sub Selection/Comparison Help

[bad03ranger 10+ year member]

Im looking to upgrade my stock rear 6.5 speakers to some subs but im not sure which one will produce the "Lowest and Loudest" bass

Ive narrowed it down to a pair of Kicker CompVT 08CVT652-$150 or a pair of JL 6W3V3-8-$260

Heres a comparison

why not go to PartsExpress and look at Tang-Band's 6.5" Subwoofers.... very very good little drivers, affordably priced and lots of good reviews....

and if you're wanting to go to dedicated subwoofers in the factory locations you'd best be sure to use sound deadening and mount them in some good MDF rings to be sure to get the best sound, no matter what you choose to buy installation makes or breaks the outcome.... also, unless the speakers are dual 4 or single 2 ohm coils you won't be able to bridge them to that amplifier.....

Ive looked at those and if i remember right they are too deep im going to put them in the stock locations of a 99 tacoma xtra cab similar to this

If i go with the JL ill get the 8ohm sub and run them in parallel

and if i go with kicker ill get the 2ohm model and run them in series

i think thats the right order

Any opinions?

Could check out the Elemental Designs E3.6 at edesignaudio.com I think they're on sale right now and I'd put money on that walking all over the Kickers. Probably similar to the JL's but for way less $$.

what about the ddw6.5 as a subwoofer, and where can i buy those

If i don't want to run the subs IB what would be my best choice JL,DD,ED, or TB

Ill just need to figure out a way to get a small .5^3 ft box in that area

But if i do go IB i need to cut my RMS power in half right
