Atrend

I have decided on an atrend box but can not decide single 10 or dual 10
Really don't want thundering bass but also don't want to wish I had 2 later

Go dual you can always dial down the bass. I have always had one 10 and have never been satisfied. Trust me do it right the first time.

I cannot recommend the atrend box at all. It doesn't provide enough space for the subs to fire.. the surround will touch the floor toward the back of the box.

I still have a single 10 supercrews box in my garage. It was for a 2010 Supercrew and I had no complaints. It was in my truck for 4 months before I got the bug to go bigger.

I built my own box.

I wanted something that was specifically made for my SI BM MKIII subs.

.55 ft^3 per chamber, sealed chambers, multiple angles to match the bottom seat contours, 1.5 inch of clearance from bottom of box to floor, and all to fit under just the 60 portion of the back seat.

For two 10s that need around .7ft^3 per side the supercrews is a good box. It was solid and the carpeting was nice. Never leaked or started to fall apart. On thing is it only has 1.25 inchs clearance for excursion.

if I go 2 10's I will have to get a cheaper sub and amp prolly.
So would one good 10 and a good amp
be better then 2 cheaper subs and amp?

one 10 running about 350 watts should be enuf to hit pretty hard I would think.

Don't know where you're getting your info but I have an atrend single 10" box filled with an Image Dynamics ID10D. Even at full boogie the cone has never touched anything but nice, soft air.

Maybe the single 10 boxes are fine, but I installed two of the dual 10 boxes in two different trucks. Both had the same problem...

I just re-checked mine, which has a pretty healthy excursion. At full boogie there is an easy 3/8 inch between the cone and the floor. I suppose if a sub had an uber-thick mounting flange or a noticeably protruding cone/flange (like some do for "Hey look at us!" marketing reasons) I could see depth being an issue. For subs that have a purely functional flange and flush surround mount location I don't see why it would be an problem at all.
