anyone have an idea what a 10 inch jl wo sub would sound like in the back of an extended cab. My local store recommended it because of the air space in the box what do yall think.

 

Well its a JL so it would be alright. More bass anyway. I would look at a different model though. The W0 is just the low base model. JL has much better to offer

 

well the problem is that the box that i ordered has the depth of 5.75 for a sub and it is .63 cubic feet. i was tryin to find a good jl that did not need alot of air. do you think i will be able to hear it over the 4 infinity 1030s 5x7s in the truck

 

I would not ignore the w0 series just because they are a base model, they still sound great.

It's more of the power that you plan on running. The 10w0's are rated at 125 rms and can go above that, but I think according to their site 200 rms is pushing there limits. Anything over that and you should look into better models.

 

well im buying amplifer and subwoofer but i got the box from supercrew sound. single 10 inch 2002 f-150 extended cab. .63 cubic feet. depth was 5.75 i believe. The guy from my shop told me to get a sub that did not need alot of air and i did not have to be powerful for it to sound good. He said i would be dissappointed if i went out and bought a more powerful sub and tried to put it in the box.

 

.63 cu ft will give you a good amount of sub choices. Just make sure the sub you get has that in it's recommended range, and match the amps rms to the sub (150rms amp for a 150 rms sub) and you should be fine.

Mostly it depends on what sound you are looking for. Right now I have a crappy sub running at 100watts rms, and it's more then enough loud. I just need a good quality sub.

 

Anyway to describe how it sounds in your truck. Is it noticeable outside the vehicle?

 

When I had a 10" JL behind my seat in my standard cab '97 F150 mated to about 120 watts RMS. Pounded into my back everyday, and with the windows up and engine running you couldn't hear it while standing in the front of the truck even when its blaring.

My '99 Expy had JL stealthbox w/ 300 watts pushing it. Same thing. Thumpin' on the inside, very quiet on the outside.

 

A guy also told me about possibly putting a 10 inch HX2 in the truck. Anyone knows how that will sound in the box that is under the seat the cubic feet is .63. Anyone have it?

 

I dont think HX2's will fit. They are pretty big subs. Mounting depth would be to much and not enough airspace Im 99% sure.

 

ok guys what would yall put in that box from supercrewsound. I looking for the best that i can get in that box. I love bass but i know i can't get much because of the box. What would yall suggest

 

Last night I put in an older 10" Pioneer TS-W1040 sub into a box (.54 cu ft) I made over the weekend and ran it with 100 watts going to. It pounds okay, fills the cabin great, and is a night/day difference over the LA sub. Standing outside the truck, I'd say it's about the exact same as dzervit described.

Since the sub is rated at 150rms, and I know I can it can handle a good clean 300rms, I am planning on either switching to a single JL 10w0, or if my amps 3rd channel is 2ohm stable I may try 2 RE 8's.


What sound do you want, SPL or SQ? With the selection of 10's out there and .63 cu ft box, you can get either. Personally I'd find a nice lower power sub that sounds great and runs of 100-200 watts rms. It will be loud and still sound great.

JL have a good sound, the infinity subs are supposed to be nice (250rms I think). IDQ. RE is getting rave reviews and the new must have. CDT.

But I prefer quality over volume.

 

yea i would defiantely want it to have good sound quaility. I also like to turn it up at times. I know its probably not goin to sound like the type r 12 that i had in my escort before i let it go but i want something good enough that i have to turn the bass down, and know that if i want more i can get it.

 

If you put a jl wo in your truck in the next few days let me know how it sounds. Im tryin to get my done next weekend when my box arrives.

 

You will definately be able to get the sound you want, honestly with the right sub/amp you should be able to match, if not surpase your Alpine.
