i own a 2001 supercrew and there is no room for a good subwoofer setup. i am looking at a few different things and am wondering if anyone has tried any of them?

1- jl-audio stealthbox for center console

2-infinity bass link

3-powered bazooka tube

i hope you guys can help me out. i installed and orion anp and upgraded the door speakers with sony x-plods and it made a big difference, but i like BASS... heeellllpppppppppppp

 

I've got 2 10" xtant subs under my rear seat. I had to lift my seat an inch plus build my own box, but I have very satisfied, plus by building my own box I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for a box from the stereo shop. Plus I got to make it my way. Other than that I don't know anything about the questions you were wondering about, just thought I give you something to think about.

I've got 2 10" Kicker Solobaric L7s behind my rear seats. It can be done.

Stay away from the bazookas if you want serious bass.

 

I have the JL Stealthbox in my center console and DiamondAudio comps in the front doors. (Both sets are amp'd: hidden behind the "wall", drivers side, rear, accessible thru the access door). The stealthbox kicks serious butt. It's a single 10, but I have a couple friends whose cars are equipped with serious boom who tell me the sound rivals some larger setups. I don't know what you're looking for, but I've got enough bottom end to rattle my rearview mirror enough that I can't see clearly with it when the volume is cranked. Certainly I'm not going to win any SPL contests, but I have serious, clean, deep, pounding bass without sacrificing fold-down use of my rear seats (or concern that an underseat unit can be ripped out by some low-life). At first, I balked at the cost -- about $450 -- but after living with it now for over a year, it has been money well spent. I get great pleasure from this set up every day.

 

Where is a good place to buy the stealthbox? I haven't found any place that carries the one I want. I want the one for the rear console in the King Ranch or HD. There is one on ebay now for the front console. Wrong picture in the ad though.

I have an 8" powered bazooka under my back seat. I bought it initially because it fit and it was cheap. I have been happy with it. It doesn't pound like a large woofer but it does fill in a factory system nicely. I have Blaupunct 3 ways in all doors and the factory deck. I have an A/D/S 6.25 sitting in the garage but I think the door speakers will be to loud and drown the bass with the amp hooked up. I will likely go to bigger subs behind the seat in the future but for now the tube does a good job of providing some low bass that isn't overpowering.

 

I have been thinking about the Infinity Basslink myself for and am probably going to go with it in my Supercab and putting it either under the rear seat if it fits or on the center hump up front since i have Captains Chairs. I have a Infinfty 12" Perfect Sub in my wakeboard boat and it is very nice clean bass. I have heard nothing but good things about the basslink and since I have already upgrade my stock speakers to Infinty Kappa 5x7 might as well stick with what i know works and sound good since i also have Infinity Kappa's 6-1/2 in my boat.

I just bought the Elemental Designs ED10k sub(10") I has a mounting depth of 5.4 inches, are made to perform in small enclosures, and they recommend 400watts rms to power them and a max of 900 watts rms. These came highly recomended by 2trucks1wife....I get it Friday and ill have it installed with the rest of my equipment in about 3 weeks! Ill post on here how the sub performs.

Of the choices you've listed, the stealthbox is your best bet. I used to have two 10" JL W-Ø's in my old truck. They were in a custom built box and they really slammed. I know a guy who had a stealthbox in a Dodge Ram and that was really slick, I couldn't believe how great it sounded, plus it truly is stealth.

 

The problem with 10" subs is finding room for them they don't fit under the rear seat of Supercabs but i am not sure about the SuperCrews. Like i said I have an Infinty 12' Pefect and it has a nice clean thump the thing that is nice about the Basslink is it has the amp in it so you don't have to also worry about finding a place to mount an amp for your sub and a amp for your other speakers.

Therr are a few subs that fit under the rear seat of the SUPERCREW, The elemental design sub fits, Boston Pro, JL and Rf(dont remember the model numbers) i kno fit off the top of my head. I considered the Boston Pro until i came across the elemental design sub! Half the price and a 3 year warranty isnt to shabby also
