Time for new stuff

[bangbangskeetskeet]

Well about 5 months ago now my old system got jacked.
I had an Alpine Type R 12...ok that was really the only thing that got stolen...powered by a Rockford BD 1000.1. The reason it got jacked is because I had it sitting on the seat...I know ghetto. Thats the only place it could fit with the seat down. I have been looking for a good system to do. I want to keep my current amp but want to get new sub(s). I was thinking about a single 12 again...but I was also thinking about the shallow mount and doing 2 12's bolted down under the seat. What I want to know is what brand of the shallow mount people would recomen and why.

JL audio... Thats the only subs i have ever owned i think they have the best sound quality but still put out good db if u were wanting to do sound off... heard many diff subs but still think JL is the only way to go

Do they even make a shallow mount? If they do I didnt know about it.

[WARLOCK]

Yes they do but plan on spending some money. I am taking out my center console and making a new one with a diamond d6 inside of it. That may be another option for you.

[bangbangskeetskeet]

Yeah I had this idea to have virtually a center console all the way back...cut out the middle of the back seat and have a console full of subs...but that is way too much monies. Why do you say that 2 of the JL shallow mount 12's will be a lot of money?

what year truck and cab size do you have.

IMO, i think that they are a good all around choice, moderate cost, fits perfectly in your truck, and i have 3 trophies to say that they hit loud.

2 first and 1 second. i have a rcsb, with 1 10, with 500 watt TMA amp.

just checked your profile

this is your box. it comes with 2 10" probox subs with 2.5" coils

I think the jl shallows are expensive.

The jl w5 13 is an expensive lil booger and I think you would be more satisfied in doing some higher wattage 10's. I myself have always always ALWAYS been a fan of 12's until I installed my first set of diamond audio 10's in a truck like ours. They are a bit on the pricey side but they are well worth the money I promise. I have installed everything from kicker to jl to Rockford and eclipse to diamond audio. Diamond audio takes the gold hands down IMO. I currently have 2 D3 10's rated at 400rms each on my Rockford t500.1bd which had a birth sheet saying it ran 725 rms at 1 ohm and it sounds pretty close to my bedcut in my white truck. They still don't have the earthquake style pounding bass that the 2-p2 12 dvc's in the bandpass bedcut had but they will surprise you for being 10's. They are in a pre-fab downfire box on an amp that doesn't quite hit rms for the subs and they sound awesome. Also, the jl shallow is a 500 watt rms sub. IMO I wouldn't use shallows in an application that didn't need shallow subs.
