Subs for F-150?

[sbddvm 10+ year member]

I just purchased a regular cab F-150 and I'm looking for the right subwoofers. Ideally, I would like to purchase subs that are very efficient. However, box size is the limiting factor so I need ones that can work in a small enclosure. At this point, I've found 2 12" Kicker L7's in a .88 sealed box to be the best fit even though they need lots of power. I would appreciate your recommendations on speaker size and brand for both SQ and SPL.

1 10" eclipse titanium from ebay, they have some of the clearest bass i've ever heard.

Do you have a bench seat or bucket seats? That will play a factor in your decision. Oh by the way, all the BS about not being able to go with two ported solo baric L7 12's in about 3.25 ft^3 per sub in a single cab truck...its BS. You can do it if you want to. I'm in the process of it. Guy around here wants 400$ to do it but I'm going to build it myself so I'm only out 100$ max in materials and quite a few hours of work. You will be surprised whatyou can fit behind that seat if you scoot it up a couple notches!

oh yea, i have the bench seat and my current box (sealed) is about 3 cubic feet. So go a little bigger than .88 if you want SQ out of those L7's and I recommend at least 600 watts per sub to get good performance but some say you can go with less.

Well, the truck is actually an 02 Lightning and it comes with the 60/40 split-bench seat. I am 6' 2" but I am comfortable with moving the seat up a few clicks.
