Posted February 10, 200520 yr i'm stumped and it's buggin the hell outa me...maybe i should make a poll...lolhere's the deal, i sold the subs/box i normally run in my truck (the hpo's)i'm not impressed with the xxx in anyway to want to try to fit that as a daily driver...so...do i buy another pair of tens and build another box for under my seat?do i pull my back seat and go large..like 15" large?do i have scott order another solox 10 (is $500 fo them new w/waranty bad?) and buy the pair of those?i'm at a crossroads. i've got a really sweet sub amp (thanks nick), but i have no clue as to what to do.advice? opinions?wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 10, 200520 yr honestly... you have an UBERwoofer coming right? If so, run that with 2kw in a killer ported (~4.0-6.0ft^3) and you;ll be VERY happy IMO.
February 10, 200520 yr Do something like what I am going to do. Put bucket seats in your truck and run a downfiring 10 or 12 (I'm going IDMax 12) between them in a custom console. Then you still have a back seat, you have BETTER front seats and you have killer up front bass. If I dont' go this route I will be running 2 10's the exact same way you had them (you inspired my fallback plan with the pics of your box)

February 10, 200520 yr Admin Kent have you thought about a pair of the POwer Bass PR's? the Orion should be a good match for them, and you would be the first to write a review on them
February 10, 200520 yr I'm sure you've thought about it ... but that's a brand new truck. Be nice with it Honestly, you seem to be happiest with dual 10" setups.Oh, and with the uberwoofer ... if you try a sealed enclosure ... you'll love the low end - it WILL shake you apart.
February 11, 200520 yr Author u know denim, i haven't thought about the powerbase pr's..steve, ur right...but at the same time..i'm back to being sick of building/installing systems that are louder then mine...lol..and i've got more power. i've thought about a pair ro rl-i 10's...but that puts me back to square one..lol...of course, i might just buy a pair of the new rl-i 8's..heheanyway...i might just be doing the solo x 18. we discussed it today.oh, nice to my truck??? lol..i'm always nice to my trucks..hehewheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 11, 200520 yr Admin humm, I am not sure how you are going to like a single solo X in there, you might need a second Orion to power it, and from what I have seen first hand your going to need a massive box for it to get the most out of itwhy not dual 15's? PB XS's? oer SI D2's?since i get the feeling SI might be back very soon
February 11, 200520 yr Author Go Retro, it's the "In" thing. Strokers!lol..no..no strokers...."in" or not..lmao..also..denim..i honestly don't believe the x needs as big a box as ppl think...larger then most yes..lol...but not as big as believed. also, the 10" bottoms out in 2.25ft^3 and it's rms (i think nick and i figured out why) so i don't see why the 18 wouldn't do decent off 2.5k. also, i'm going to be runnin the orion at .5ohm...so it should be more like 3.5kwrms..it's not set in stone..but it's getting there..lolwheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 11, 200520 yr So hurry up and post pics already! I know you can have it done in a couple hours.
