Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 11218 Registered: Jul-06 | Here is what I have in my old body style Silverado. I just sold my Fi Q's b/c they didn't fit my box. Today ups brought me these  Two Eclipse SW6010. These are only 450wrms each but they fit in my box and work well with my SQ based system. I have them wired for a 4 ohm final load to my american bass 200.1 amp. This amp is very underrated and can do close to 3000w at 1 ohm so I'm guessing they're getting close to 1000w at 4 ohms. How many amps can do that There should be a nice gain in efficencey and DF at 4 ohms too. This is my under-seat box. Very limited depth inside  New subs mounted in box  Box fits under the ext cab trucks back seat. I still need to mount it in place, it moves if i make a quick stop.  Amps are mounted under the trucks front seats. American bass 200.1 for the subs and a JL 360.2 for the speakers.   Driver side speakers, CDT ES-5 mid and DRT-25 tweeter. This vehicle had the dreaded 4x6 dash speakers stock so i had to do some custom work. Doesn't look pretty but works very well. Making stuff look pretty is not one of my skills lol.  Same JVC HU i've had forever. Stock, there was a cassete deck where the HU is now. The main radio was a square unit above the hvac controls. The dashkit comes with a little storage pocket to fill that space, so I mounted my GPS in there. Hard wired power for it, that blue rocker switch turns it on.  |

Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 669 Registered: Jul-09 | Nice looking subs! Is there really that big a difference in mounting depth compared to the Q's? Any chance for a vid? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 11223 Registered: Jul-06 | A vid wouldnt be much lol.. the subs fire down so you can't see em... Depth of these subs is 5-15/16" the Qs were 6-1/2". That 9/16" makes the difference |

Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 674 Registered: Jul-09 | Man,thats not a bad price at all for those! Let us know how they sound then? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 11227 Registered: Jul-06 | I want to say them sound almost as accurate as the Qs... not as much output but considering they take half the power, I'd say there are quite capable subs. |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 23242 Registered: Jun-06 | Yeah I'm a pickup man. I can still ride in style, get low 20's MPG, buy a washer/lumber when needed AND still seat 5. Oh, and I can tow up to 8000 lbs, play in the snow like it's fun and chalk up a dirty truck as a great weekend. That's a full package!! |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 23243 Registered: Jun-06 | My current truck sits so high that the tailgate is almost at shoulder height (I'm 6'2"). All factory suspension too. It's almost freaking weird lol. |

Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 11240 Registered: Jul-06 | Nice paul. The new F-150s look good, I always hated them in the 90s And I agree, gotta have the truck.. I've always wanted a 4th gen camaro but I won't give up the truck. Have to wait till I can afford more vehicles lol. |

Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 11241 Registered: Jul-06 | Did you ever get some bass in your truck paul? You could do something similar to mine, use an enclosure like this Fits under the back seat out of the way so you don't lose any seating http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7842_Sonic+Sub+Box-+OCFRD11-10.html |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 23244 Registered: Jun-06 | Wish I could. With my current profession in the corporate world it requires me to have the ability to transport exec's around. I can't have a sound system that has a bass box in the back seat lol. I need to be able to take guys to lunch who make $200,000/year respectably. No room under the seats either. That's the main reason I abandoned bass in my ride years back and turned to HT. I suppose we all evolve eventually. |

Silver Member Username: RosrockMichigan Post Number: 599 Registered: Mar-09 | how can u drive without bass? |
|
Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 23245 Registered: Jun-06 | If you remember I had started a system with an Alpine HU, SS sub and Kicker amp. THAT was just before buying my new truck, which changed everything. Sad to see it go but a career is more important than a hobby in life today. |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 23246 Registered: Jun-06 | Ryan, my commute is 12 minutes lol. While my younger years were filled with club thumping, heart pounding bass, today I've slowed a bit. Mind you I'm 20 years older than most of you here. |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 2373 Registered: Apr-07 | But Paul with an SUV or trunk car you could have at least a little bass and no one would ever know My Tahoe has the tow package so it's good for 8600lbs I believe- it's towed around 7k lbs down hwy 95 before and did a good job of it. I didn't care for the older fords but the new 150s look good, and the Raptor is eye candy. Looking good M.S. I'm in the same boat as you, except I'd rather have an SUV and when I get more money I'll get a truck too. That box looks really good in there. |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 23247 Registered: Jun-06 | Sorry Troy. It's a truck or no deal for me. I live in NJ and you can call me a hillbilly all you want lol. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 11244 Registered: Jul-06 | Thanx. I'm thinking about painting it blue to match the interior, what do you guys think? |
|
Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 23248 Registered: Jun-06 | I forgot to mention that my tent rental business requires transporting 10' pole sections along with the other gear. That can't easily be done in an SUV. |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 2374 Registered: Apr-07 | Ah but Paul you're forgetting the awesomeness of a trailer. I do a lot of hauling, so we have quite a few trailers. One is just big enough to haul a truck-bed sized load, and the largest we've had 2 farm tractors and a half dozen attachments on at once- double axle and 3 point hitch ftw. I prefer trailers because you can disconnect the hitch and unload later if you want. It boils down to we all like what we do, and that is a really clean looking truck you have. |
