I'm a newbie to speaker systems, so I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about systems. I want to get 2 10" subs underneath the back seat of my 2000 Extended Cab Larait, and I was told that JL Audio W6/7 were the best I could get. But when I priced those things ! For the price of those I can get me an XCal2, or a set of Gibson Headers! Any other cheaper priced subs out there that are good, but won't drain my wallet. (I'm a teenager, so I don't have much to work with.)

This truck has been draining my wallet ever since I got it... But its fun!

 

Yes, its big money on the JL w6 and w7 lines.
Research and look at the following subs:

Resonant Engineering
Adire Audio
Ascendant Audio
Arc Audio (what I use)
Dayton (partsexpress.com)
Image Dynamics

 

I have an Image Dynamics, replaced a Fosgate Punch with it, 10". I love it, it drives a lot deeper then the Fosgate did. Cost was about 130 bucks, i think.

 

Take a look at the boston G2 10" sub very impressive and very inexpensive.

 

Buy my AA Atlas's



Oh yeah, cant advertise here, against the rules. Whoopsies.

Uhh..............................., whats your budget?

 

I'm lookin for $300 in the subs. I can get a custom built fiberglass sub box (built for F150) with 3 sony xplod 10" for $200. How good are the sonys? Should I just go with that?

 

I have a MTX THUNDERBOX with 2 10" 4500's w/ a built in amp and it hits hard and fits perfectly, you can also get them in 6 different colors

 

Might as well just fart to the beat of the music, because if you go with those you arent going to get much louder.....or sound better.....would probably stink less that way too.......

300 bucks can get a pretty nice pair of 10's.

Alright, Thanks Everybody!

 

They don't call em explode for nothin. Japanese has a sick sense of humor when it comes to american marketing.

 

Alpine type r's are nice for the price. My friend has two ten inch type r's that pound in his 350z. He has them hooked up to a hifonics 1605d, but not much SQ outta the set up. But i would check out type r's, dayton titanics, IDQ, ARC ARCs, rl-i's, tc 2+.

 

lol
In addition to the companies listed above I like (RE, Adire, AA, ID)
Massive Audio has some great subs available right now.
A friend of mine is a dealer for them, I can get you prices if you'd like.

thier subs are pure secks
I realize this is probably out of your power, space and budget range but I had to post.

 

http://www.maxxsonics.com/hifonics/subs_atlas.html try these hifonics atlas (round) I had one in a bedcut in my reg cab S-10 and people were afraid to sit in my truck. sounds very nice and the bass is deep as hell!

 

I've become a big fan of Polk's MOMO line. They hit hard, run deep, and have pretty shallow mounting depths. You can see mine here http://home.comcast.net/~mrmsudawgs/Truckaudio.html
