OK new poster here. i have an 09 silvy crew cab. my problem is BASS ,i dont have enough i have two re audio 8"s in a .6 cuft box at this point and the samething on the other side coming soon. im looking for advice on new subs. i only have about 5.5 inches of height in my downfire box. i can get upto 1.6 cubes total iv i build one box across the back but still limited to 5.5" height. any suggestions? thanks steve

You know, that idea had never even crossed my mind. lol thanks ill concider it

I have thought about raising the seats it looks more difficult that it sounds. the way the new silverado rear seat folds it has a rail the back of the cab it slides up and down on. NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. im willing to make interior mod to make room i just need to keep it a functional 4 seat truck. im not to worried about money as money can be saved up to do anything.the boxes i have now are 7inches high in the front and 4.5 in the rear. plus i have the amps mounted on them. if i could relocate the amps and build one long box i could get up to almost 6 inches inside depth in the center of the box where the sub is thickest. total volume would be about 1.6-1.8 cubes

Hence the reason why I said blow-thru. The enclosure is in the bed of the truck, not in the back seat. iwork construction and need all the bed space i can get. i guess i just wanted to know if anyone sold a slim 12 that would give alot of bass. or if there were better 8s i could run in the space i have, better than the REs i have now. i have plenty of amp just need subs that bump hard in the limited space im working with

Id love to have a dual 18" set up in the back lol but defeats the perpose of buying a 4 door truck.

Check my profile i posted a picture. ha

Of course it will. If you have the space and want it louder, than put them in a ported enclosure. Trying a different enclosure before buying new drivers is the smart way to go. Just make sure its to RE specs. SO THEN WOULD TWO 8S IN A PORTED BOX HIT HARDER THAN 4 8S IN A SEALED BOX?

yes my name really is steve mead. funny huh? i have followed the other steve who spells his last name with an E at the end for along time. im from the west coast also and he is really a badass. anyways. i have never heard a slim 12 and didnt know if they sounded any good. i can modify my boxs a little to except a 5.75" depth. i see jacob at sundown might release the new 8 around feburary '10. maybe thats the way to go. also my boxes are sealed at .6 cubes and hold two speakers each. RE sayes thats about right for a sealed box. i wondered if porting the boxes and only used one sub per box would yeild better spl? the subs sound starving for more.

thanks
