Image Dynamics makes subs that don't require too much space...

Cadence Mallets are especially designed to have very little mounting depth

or you could go with the ubiquitous RE8

maybe an RE10

elemental designs kv2's

13kv2 in a 0.8 sealed box or 1.5 ported box if you can fit it

or

11kv2 in a 0.8 ported box

what kind of reg. cab do u have?

I have a box design for a 13kv2 ported to 28 hz that will fit in a silverado reg. cab

How much are you looking to spend? And what impedence do you need?

Two Koda 10's or Creative Sounds SX10's. A single Image Dynamics IDQ or IDMax10, maybe two ID10's. A single 10W7 would probably slam pretty good w/ 400w.

Also depends on if you want SQ, SPL or SQL

Check out Soundplinter (Rl-i series are TC Sounds TC2+ carbon copies).

'89 s- 10. couple hundred (remember i will have 400 watts@2 ohm), that 9" includes the box and room for the cone to move as well. i plan on doing a biuld to enclosure where the back of the box is the cab to gain that extra 3/4" of space. the amp i plan to use is an mtx 895 5 channel. i plan on installing my xdp4000x under the passenger side floor mat (building an enclosure for it under the carpet) then the single amp being mounted vertically along the back of the cab passenger side.

I have a reg cab chevy silverado 00 model. I took out my center seat to have room for a box and whatever future plans on building I have. It's a 1 cubic foot sealed btw, and I'm using an 12" re SE which the MD space is 6.75".

I have my Arc Audio V2 12's (IDQ V3 upscale cousin)in a 0.6cu/ft and 7.75" deep sealed box w/ a tad of polyfill- In case you want to go w/ 12's, these are very sharp- quick hitters -great SQ subs

Alot of truck owning SQ heads go w/ IDQ's- they work great, they sound great and they hit so hard and clean

Like I said the Arc sub is a more refined version of it- it has push down terminal posts, larger magnet, share same basket and cone/duscap use diff glues or whatnot- Have not had a chance to examine thoroughly other differences, but basically the same driver- But they sound the same, just slightly diff assembly- and I think its put together by ID

I payed $189 a piece for my Arcs, the IDQ's are cheaper and can be bought from Sound Domain -either way you go you're getting sweet subs and would be in heaven with 400rms

Another sweet affodable SQ sub is the Alumapro Alchemy Mx- work well in similar

applications

Good luck

2 8's or one 10 maybe a 12, but thats probably all ur gonna get in a smaller spac. you could make a box that gos from the bed to the cab and get 10(s) or 12(s)

i can get 1.5 cubic feet pretty easy. reason im asking is ALOT of the newer stuff is bigger as far as mounting depth.
