subs for my truck

[bborey 10+ year member]

Yea i wanted to run those in my truck too. But would be impossible unless i lifted the seat and glassed my own box

why would you needa glass the box? and a seat lift is a great idea. heres a pic of 4 8s under a seat..

No reason just figured I may get more space that way. Where did u get ur lift? Mine is an 02 and has a bit less space than the new trucks.

 

[bborey 10+ year member]

umm not mine but i know that it's a 3in lift, i can look for you.

oh and to help with space you can build you're whole box using 1/2 MDF instead of 3/4 and use 3/4 for the face plate. just a thought.

 

[jwth2005 10+ year member]

Awesome thanks I def need a lift thinking about a pair of 1508s

 

[Plutoman 10+ year member]

1508's are not for SQ. Period. And they shouldn't be tuned to 32hz.

If you want SQ, stick with the ID subs.

 

[jwth2005 10+ year member]

How are the idq's as far as output. I know they are more sq. I Am just curious I like SQL

i looked for some brackets, found some supercrew kits for 04 and up, but they do have some supercab for the 02s, but thats not the same.. idk you can look around some but heres the site.. lmiwelding.com

you can prob make your own using some L or C brackets, do some research on making your own or finding some others, post some forums askin questions on it, like websites that carry them or what steps to take when doing it.

oh and as far as subs what exactly are you looking to get from them? how much power do you wanna run and if you already have an amp what is it?

 

[jwth2005 10+ year member]

I like SQ with a good amount of output I

listen to a lot of rock and metal. I would probably do 1000 or less I do not have an amp that is capable of that much yet

 

[bborey 10+ year member]

so does 300-500 per sub sound good to you?

 

[jwth2005 10+ year member]

Sure does

 

[bborey 10+ year member]

well heres a couple subs i found..

Rockford P3 (250rms)

Polk audio MM (250rms)

Infinity REF860w (250rms)

those will be fine on 300w

theres a decent amount of kicker subs that'll take more than that(300-450), and a JL w7 will take 500rms.

if you considered runnin maybe 4 8s if you have room, diamond audio D3s are nice (200rms) and could take 250w if you get a 1000w amp.

as far as everything else idk how good the SQ on them are..

 

[Plutoman 10+ year member]

Nah... Don't do any of those.

Output on the ID subs is pretty good. And the quality is great. You won't be disappointed.

DD subs are pure SPL. Kicker aren't that great - and neither are any of the infinity, rockford, or polk subs up there. Decent, but not near the quality of the others. Diamonds are pretty nice.

i run a f150 supercrew 2001i have pioneer headunit with door speakers that are amped..

and im looking to finish my system

i was recommended to this box/sub setup

http://www.supercrewsound.com/commerce/product.jsp?prodId=15&catId=58

with 2 ID 10 subs

i want it to hit pretty nice and low and sound awesome

is this a good setup or do i have better options?

should i build a box instead?

how loud do these ID subs get,etc?

thanks

What did you end up placing in your truck re: box and subs?

i think im gonna stick with the ID 10s

in the process of ordering them up

i disagree with this, at least for the rockford and polk, ive owned polk MMs and they're clean. and RF p3s arent amazing but are nice. but its all preference. and kicker is ok, but their moto is livin loud so they arent a good SQ sub.

NP, I may have to look into those. I only have so much room in my super crew as well.

ya for sure.. i dont want to get SUPER extravagant without making a big custom project.

i hope these will work nicely.

idk if OP has any woodworking skills but i suggest measuring and building ur own box as SuperCrew Sounds builds there boxes on the small side...After a friend purchased one we noticed we had an extra .8 cuft that could b used if the box was different because their box was so small

oh really?

i didnt know that? if so id LOVE to get extra room...

i just dont know how much space is under the seat without a seat lift. but idk if that applies to my year supercrew or are you talking newer models?

i mean i wonder if i found the box that has the seat life with 6.5 mounting and do a single 12 with the full 1cubic foot? would that be betteR?

like a fi ssd 12 with 750 rms?

 

[alexregalgs 10+ year member]

yea his was single cab box idk if the same applies to ur application but i assume if they make the box small for one thing then it may apply else where
