I am considering two different subs for my '04 f150 SuperCrew. Both models are a tight fit, but will work. Below are specs for each. Please give me some "insight" on what would be the better sub........note the amp is a Jensen 500 watt....kinda old, but has never let me down surprisingly.

Any advice would be appreciated......THANKS!!!

 

Between those 2 I would say go with a "MTX Thunder 8000 Series 10"

If it's a tight fit you sould also consider a 10in Kicker Comp. I had 2 of em' in my truck when I had a Downfire box and I also had limited space (mounting depth)

 

Just my opinion, forget the pioneer and mtx, go with JL....

 

If you HAD TO pick out of those two...MTX.

If you don't...something else.

 

I am loving the Image dynamics ID10v3 on a jl 500/1 watt amp.
They just replaced my JL 10W6AE 10s. The ID's have an x-max of 17mm for the big bottom end and are tight on the top like the IDQs. Might just save you some $
I will sell you the 2 jl 10 w6s used for a month for $100 ea.
