WOW....just, wow. There's absolutley no reason to be a complete **** about something just because someone doesnt agree with you or think exactly what you want them to!

So maybe (unlikely) you have tested all the latest and greatest-thousands-of-dollars-unfamiliar-name equipment, which it sounds like you obviously have ( ) Either way, that gives you no right to come in and start calling everyone idiots and bashing on their vehicles/equipment just because they dont have what you think they should have, or because they dont have what you think is the best.
Have you ever considered that some people are perfectly happy and content with what they have, and not into running around like ****y ****** thinking they are bad@$$ because they have multi thousand dollar setups and brand names most people havent heard of (because, after all, thats the cool thing to do, right?)

This isnt a damn world class SQ competition forum, its a truck forum.
You really dont have any respect or consideration for anyone on here, do you?

Your better than everyone here, happy? After all, that is what your trying to do, is it not?

Thanks man, I think I may stick with that 2 12" Kicker CVT and a 2000W Power Acoustik amp and a good Kicker wiring system! But i'm still looking!

If you are going to do it, yes the CVT's will work. But also look into Exile Audio, they make an awesome shallow. Other than that a RF P3S is also an option.

Look, if you really want to get away from all the crap here and talk about whats going to work for you, goals, etc. Use the form under my name, email me and ill work you through this.

It all depends on the sub you get, the type and size box you get , the amp you get. Ive seen a 10" sub blow a 12" one away. Also seen a 10" sub blow the back window out of a car.

Yeah, that's true too. I'm trying to get the best setup I can with a limited budget, I have a lot I want to do to my truck. And I usually have buyers remorse, because I buy on impulse. So I'm trying to get the best I can, and have no regrets!

hey big dog. Honestly I had a seat lift and didn't really like it too much. My seat never seemed to fit right after words. I sat back there and if you are tall it kinda sucks and you are sitting up higher than everyone else in the cab. To each their own. I ditched it and have sense moved on.

Like I suggested earlier...I'd start with ebay and find an older amplifier for cheap and go from there.

Thanks man, that's what I've kind of been thinking. Most of my friends and people I put back there are decent sized. And, God forbid, I ever have to cram myself back there with a seat lift, won't fit!

@ RED4X4: I'm really surprised you've been able to maintain through the barrage of hostility received by other members. I just wanted you to know that there are some of us that noticed.

@ the OP - You can find great deals on 10's or even a single 10 ported that would sound great. However, matching your equipment and tuning is the most important aspect of installation. Someone mentioned install > equipment and they are 100% correct.

You could have 2 $$$12's and someone with low budget 10's could blow you away. My opinion is to buy the best you can (I would recommend shallow 10's) and save a little to have a professional install and tune your system.
