System inquiry for standard cab truck

[05AztecRed 10+ year member]

Installed my first system in my 05 Frontier way back when... I still have all the equipment in my garage, waiting to install into my 78 200SX Datsun.

Anyway. I can't re-use the subs for my current truck install as I need shallow mount subs due to space requirements. I could manage to fit normal depth subs, but I don't want the GMC logo pressed into my sternum.

However it's been a long time, and I've been out of the game for awhile. I'd like some feedback on on an amp/sub system I plan on installing.

I'm looking for clean bass, not thumping hard rap, but good crisp beats. I had 3-10"*Phoenix*Gold*subs at*250W RMS powered*by a 900W RMS*Phoenix*Gold*amp in my Frontier, and it was a good system for me. Had good bass for all the types of music I listened to, was crisp when I wanted it to be, and hit hard enough on the hip hop I would occasionally listen to.

I went to the local audio shop and asked about their shallow mount subs, and what they would recommend, they suggested a pair of JL Audios 10TW3-D4s. I like the look of the subs, but $300 a pop is a little on the high end. I'd like to hear peoples comparables. I don't need the absolute top of the line, most expensive ones, but I am willing to spend some cash to get a good system.

Sub-enclosure; due to my truck being a single cab, not much room. Has a place for an amp and just a generic 10"/12" enclosure.

Current deck is a single DIN*Sony*deck, however that will be updated to a touchscreen next year or so.

Have you considered a center console enclosure? Im able to get 1cuft sealed after displacement with mine. Depending on where you mount amps you could still do the two shallow mount subs. The center console will give you enough room to consider more high end subs.

midbass/treble get a component set from morel, focal, rainbow if you can find it. amps on components and sub..

jl will always be overpriced. look at sundown, id q, fi, incriminator audio...to name a few
