8" SKAR Audio Build
After having two systems in my '13 crew cab neither being loud enough for me I decided to up my game and try out some 8's. My very first system I have ever done in a vehicle was my 1 10" JL W3V3 in a q-bomb ported sub box with a JL JX500/1 amp from a professional audio shop Big Daddys. Being that it was my first system my "virgin ears" thought it sounded loud.... Nope! So I decided to try out two 10's I went to another local audio shop called Rochas truck and Audio, and heard one of their demo 10" Image Dynamic CTX Subwoofers and it was a lot louder than mine so I got 2 of them in a sealed enclosure powered by a Image Dynamic Q-series 600/1 amp that ended up sounding worst than my old one. After searching and searching I decided I wanted 2 Sundown SA-8 subwoofers under the seat facing towards the front. I posted this on an audio forum and got a deal on 4 SKAR Audio VVX8 D2 for the price of 3. So I pulled the trigger and got them. Then I went on eBay and got a SKAR Audio SK1500.1 Amp and a 1/0AWG SKAR Audio Amp Kit. After finally getting all of that in I went to the Pro's at Big Daddys and got a Custom Ported sub box for 3 8's.... Here's the results. Easily the loudest system I've heard come form under the seats of a pickup truck. I compete with 15's in some local car shows. Thanks for looking questions feel free to ask.
