Subwoofer suggestions

[skirchydoo]

Hi, new member here.

I’ve been out of the car audio game for about 15 years. I would like to put a couple 8’s under the back seat of an extended cab F350.

I have a JL audio JX 500/1D amp, and the subs need to have less than 5” mounting depth.

I’m looking for suggestions, I have no idea what to look at other than JL audio. I would prefer to use 2 subs, but not opposed to 4.

Any help would be appreciated.

There is a member here, AnthonyO, selling a pair of new 10" Alpine subs that are great with small boxes and perfect for that amp. Alpine is a solid brand and AnthonyO is a trusted member.

A pair of Dual 2 ohm subs will work such as these.. or a pair of SVC4 ohm subs

4" is tough. Sundown has some shallow mounts worth looking at.

Oops, need to stay under 5”

And I realize most 8’s are least than 5” mounting depth, I’m more or less looking for best bang for the buck.

Also, what’s the opinions 8” kicker L5’s?

Are you building the box yourself?

Give Hertz a look.

I'm guessing it's 5" depth for an up fire? How about 4 6.5s front firing with a port to the side. More surface area than 2 8s

4 6.5’s was my original idea. I miss the old JL 6w0’s and 8w0’s. Suggestions for a decent 6.5”?

I honestly haven't used any. It's something I would like to do in my truck one day. It's really budget dependant. The American bass vfl6.5 look pretty decent for 140. I've heard that the DD 1506 is a great sub, but they're 399 each. Way too much for me, assuming I'm using 4 of them. There's some other options out there that I can't remember off hand.

Alpine Type S are decent subs for the money.

How much are you willing to spend and how much bass do you want? You can fit 3-10's. For maximum bass, you might want to look into a single shallow 10" in a ported box. The Alpine RS and JL TW5 are excellent subs.
