yes the sub hangs down from there. there is enough room just depending on what sub you get. ill get a picture after work today

 

ok these are the pics of the sub box in the car (this is the new one though but they are exactly the same)

 

I believe crutchfield and JL audio sells kits for our trucks

 

yea they do but its 600 then he has to get an amp. and its only a 10''

Neat idea for an enclosure. Looks sharp. You had one made, or is it an off-the-shelf solution? Do you want to sell your old one? and where is your amp?

 

yea the one im selling was made at cartoys. i paid 125 for it. the one in the truck now i built just used the old one as a model

 

hey bullet, where is your amp located?

 

Not to be a *****, but our trucks have very limited options for subs due to limited space for enclosures. Any enclosure you buy off ebay or any pre made enclosure isn't going to allow enough room for any descent sub to fit. This means you have to get a low quality sub because the magents are smaller to be able to fit them in the pre made enclosure.
Now, if your looking to get a pre made enclosure and only spend as little as possible, your sub will sound like sh*t. You get what you pay for in the audio world!
There's a diff between 400wrms of Kicker Comp power and 400wrms of nice sounding power. Kicker comps can't withstand 400rms all day long especially in a sealed enclosure and one that's smaller than reccomended. Polyfill isn't going to cool down the voice coils any more. Also, the pioneer amp, is a mild start to any clean power. I have had the exact amp in the 730w older version. It did okay, but got really hot on 2ohm load and only produced about half the power it stated which is very common among Walmart amps.
The package you put together, meaning amp/sub is a good combo for each other as both are over rated for power output and will be suited up well together. I just think that you'll be disappointed with the overall sound quality and quantity that is produced. I think you'd be better off buying 1 very nice subwoofer, or 2 of those kicker comps. Even if you use that Pioneer amp, it will power 2 of those kickers. I think you'll find yourself turning the power output on that amp down for just one sub due to heavily increased distortion out of that cone.

Any stereo shop can and will build a custom sub enclosure to accommodate a larger magnet for a very nice subwoofer for about $200. then you have to buy the sub. I think you would be very satisfied with the sound quality and output for the little extra out of pocket money spent. We're talking about another $150 here. If not, you'll be spending much more money in the long run and find yourself running in circles.

I'm only trying to save you the headache and disappointment. I have been around audio my whole life and understand every aspect of it. I'm not trying to steer you towards what I have in my truck, but just something that I would be happy with on your budget. Start with a descent box and sub and then when you get the money work on getting a nice amplifier, but that Pioneer is suitable for now. Clean power is the best sound output alive and will make even a so-so sub sound very good.

 

i agree with dirtydog. its better to go "all out" bc you will end up having to replace the sub. when i got my first system installed it was about 600 at cartoys. this included sub amp box labor and warranty. i wish i did more research but i was 16 and impatient lol i like the box that was made and it sounds really good. the mtx 4500 was good for a little bit but i wasnt really impressed and it blew in less than 2 years. so i did research this time and settled on the jl audio w3. very impressed with this sub. hits highs and lows very well. i would recommend it.

 

its under the drivers seat
