Its going to be tough because of the lack of space behind the seat.(reg. cab) So i was thinking about putting just one 8" w7v2 http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_subs.php?series_id=1 behind the seat. What i was wondering if, the sub being behind the seat, will it distort the sound any because it will be right up next to the back of the seat. And What amp would you guys recomend me using. |

It will require the depth and airspace that most 10s will, more than some would in fact. If you can accomodate a subwoofer that is around 7" deep (not counting box thickness) and can provide around .9 cu ft of airspace, you'll be fine. But there are plenty of 10s out there that will be smaller than an 8W7 and work in a smaller enclosure. The 8W7 is a great 8" sub, but it just isn't a practical sub for a regular cab pickup. The 8W3v2 would be a better choice for that job. The sub being behind the seat won't make it distort, but because you sit right near the sub, you have more chance of hearing mechanical noises from the sub, which can definately degrade the sound. |
