Default Subs???

okay so i have a 08 standard cab dodge ram. I am looking to put some subs in it but i havent been able to find a box for it. An i herd that becuase i have the infinity system already in my truck that it will mess with the hook up...but i havent found any thing that credits it. Any help on how to set up a system in my truck would be SO! helpful

Well i'm not sure of the whole infinity deal cause i have an 03 without the infinity package so. I have a standard cab truck and did a bit of research before buying for my ride on subs and boxs. Depending on how big you wanna go with your system, your best bet for a box is custom. Either get some demesions off the internet and build your own or have a shop do it for you so this way you can get the best type of box made with the most cubic foot possible to get that truck booming. I went the more simple route. I got a pre fab box from online http://www.musicmooseaudio.com/. It's a nice basic box, 1cubic foot for each sub which isn't much but it does very well. I loaded that box with some Rockford Fosgate P3 shallows. The subs are good quality, good brand and hit amazing for a shallow mount sub and the price is just right. Got em on ebay for less then $250 for 2 new shipped. I slapped a Hifonics Brutus 1200W mono amp under the seat and my truck POUNDS. haha

Setting up a system would be easy in a regular cab. my advice is to take your time and park the truck for a couple days and gut the whole interior. Everything but the headliner. It makes it so easy to run your wires and make everything perfect. Don't forget the sound deadener too.

not to change the subject or anything.. but how do those 10's sound in your QC? I'm thinking about getting a pair.. but not really sure.. I'm more of a 12" fan.. not a 10" fan..

well since my box was made perfeclty for my type R 10's. It sounds way better than any 12's would in the space I have them in. I used to have 2 12"s in a ported box that replaced my back seat and obviously my 10's aren't as loud but they sound 100x better, are more responsive, and still get the deep lows. I would post a vid but the sq of a camera doesn't do th subs justice. But the bass still rattles the whole truck, sets off car alarms, and is louder than you would think.

This box isnt finished still needs carpet but what about the idea of a pair of twelves instead of a center seat :P
This is 3.5Cubes tuned at 29hz with the port firing toward the front cup holders.. Two x Adire Audio Brahma MK2's with two Elemental Designs NiNe.1 Amplifiers strapped at 2ohms
I have the NiNe.1's behind passanger seat
Have my Audison 4 channel under the sub box
And second battery behind driver seat..
Pounds real hard

I bet, but i needed the extra seats and wanted the enclosure to be stealthy. does each sub have its own chamber or is its just one?

Your 10's pick up lows? Only 10's ive herd won't really pick up lows, thats why I want 12's.. but I might as well get 10's an experiment from there.. Thinkin about gettin the new fox box with type r 10's or some other kind of 10" sub that would hopefully do me some good. Do you think they would sound good in a vented box under the seats?

No,go sealed for under he seats. A vented enclosure would need twice the space and the weird contours of the box would not help with a vented enclosure. Of course my 10's don't hit the lows like a 12" but it gets close. The most important part is to tune your enclosure to the exact specs the sub needs.
