Which subs to get???

[dmbrichie 10+ year member]

Ok guys, after posting a few days ago I was set on my new system decisions... However, after ordering a few things on amazon.com I was just about to order my subs, and I started looking around for a little more info on them, and now I don't know what to do again. I have an 05 Super Duty crew cab, so I don't have a ton of space to work with behind the rear seats. I want to go with 3 10" subs and was just about to order some JL 10w1v2 but I don't want to buy these and be unsatisfied. What I will have...

Rockford Power 6.5 components in all 4 doors powered by a Rockford Power 400.4 amp

Rockford Power 600.2 amp to power the 3 10" subs...

I am making a sealed box to fit behind the rear seat.

I am not looking for any kind of competition sound here, but I do like great sound quality, and good low end bass... PLEASE help me decide which subs to go with???????

idk if you have the birthsheet and know the exact output but the boston acoustic subs is a much better sub in mho

The IDQ would indeed be a good choice.

Price is also not much of an issue, of course I don't want to be spending a ton of money but I am also not looking for "cheap" subs...Just something with a shallower mounting depth...

idq if you are going with that power you are much better off with a dc level 2 or the ia 187 or dcon

woofersetc.com has ID product also.

Didnt think about the dcon, but it would be a good choice also.

Ok guys, keep in mind that I don't have a lot of room behind the seat for mounting depth... Is there any clear choice to buy here?? Obviously everybody has their "favorite brand" but I need some really good honest answers here as I want to get this stuff ordered up asap... Remember I am also powering the subs with a RF Power 600.2...

bump...come on guys... I need some advice here... I am a little leary of going with some of the subs that have been suggested so far because I have never heard of most of these brands... HELP

You need to do a pair of 4 ohm dvc subs.

The Arc Audio ARC10D4 or DC Level 2 would do nicely with your amp.

 

[dmbrichie 10+ year member]

Why do you say a pair instead of 3??

 

[dmbrichie 10+ year member]

Also, I just took the Memphis subs that I had in my truck before out of the box...And they are M Class 15-MS104D, are these subs any good really??

Why do you say a pair instead of 3??

Because you'll need 12 ohm svc or 6 ohm dvc subs to obtain a 4 ohm load. The pickings are slim...

I am just confusing myself more and more here... I had my mind made up on the JL W1v2 and now I second guessed that decision, and I CANNOT figure out what to do... I just measured for the biggest box I can fit behind the rear seat. I have 7" at the bottom and 4" at the top, from top to bottom I have 16" and the total length is 60"... So I need the subs to be no more than 5" to 5 1/2" deep... What if I added another amp??
