[QUOTE="Jcsaudio, post: 8639320, member: 673752"] I have that Sundown SD3 subwoofer in a modified braced sealed .5 cu ft parts express box and it sounds excellent in my regular F150 truck on 400 Watts RMS. Get the JBL GTX 500 from Crutchfield at $99 to run it. It’s rated at 500 watts RMS but puts out much more on a dyno. Also get the 4 gauge amp kit for it, don’t run 8 gauge, and it has to be oxygen free copper wire. Chrutchfields kits are a good bet.
