10'' sub? 12''? Weeeeak!

So we just got done installing the new JL audio 13.5" shallow mount sub into a white 06 SCREW. We built the box to the exact air space specs for the sub, wrapped it in tan vinyl and wire it to a slash series JL amp. This thing bumps wayyyy harder than 2 tens. if your looking for big bass without doing some cheezy like tearing out ur seats, this is it for u. We all loved it. Im about to throw this same set up into my black 05 SCREW as well, lemme know what yall think!!!!

yea thats cool but we dont want to pay $400 a sub. and to power them is rediculous, 600 watts rms at 3 ohms is a TON for just an underseat sub.

but yes they are probably the loudest sub you can get under the seat of a truck.

how loud does just the one get exactly? does it flex the roof atall? how far away can you hear it?

oh one things for sure, it is a lil much but it looks and sounds great. i picked this sub up for 275 on ebay! thats reasonable. this is pretty much the only under seat sub that'll turn every head when u pull into a shopping center. as long as ur box is built to specs, this subs loud enough for the drivers around u to hear ur bass easily ha and no i didnt notice any roof flexing.

That's a pretty good deal, JL makes quality stuff no doubt, I was more implying that the full retail they want to charge when you to buy authorized is ridiculous..

Nice idea with the logo. Any heat issues with the stacked amps? More pics would do this post justice. Your truck interior is clean
