Default The System In Your Truck?

Hello, I'm new to the forum and have a 2008 dodge ram 1500 QC. an wondering what can fit under the back seats of these things? I seen someone on here with 12's? but can't find him on here anymore.. a 12 or 12's is what i really want to run.. So I'm wondering what subs you guys are running and box? Need some ideas.

you can definently fit either 10's or 12's, one on each side where the underseat storage bins are. you can buy prefabbed boxes for about $200 and have approx. .7 cu ft per sub, or you can make your own which seems to be pretty common as well.

these are the subs i have 12" KickerCvR,Pioneer MonoAmp,SonyHUnit .i got the box on Ebay. it fits ferfect both seats go down perfect when i need the back seat cuz of my kids. Some people have said that there is just not enough air space for 12. I agree. I had 2 MTX 8" with a custom box and the bass was almost the same but deeper with the 8".The Pioneer Mono Amp are runing the two subs only and the Stero run my 6x9 on the doors and my tweeters on the dash.

Does the bass sound pretty good? and is the rattling bad? I've been looking at the exact same setup.

It sounds good it does like i said need more airspace, so the bass is not as deep. I went with the 2ohm kicker because of the mono amp. I dont remember i messd with it so much,ithink i ran the speakers in series.Ill try to get you the link to the box i got.

I have no rattling as long as I dont keep anything in those cupholders in the floor.........LOL.

It does sound good. Ive had many compliments. I can shake all three of my mirrors and make my ears itch.
